Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Isn't DirecTV developing an add-on hardware solution for the PC to turn it into an HD DVR a la HTPC? Also, HTPC is not limited to cable/satellite/OTA, but can easily playback Blu-ray content.
In fact, DirecTV just (as reported on dbstalk) released DirecTV2PC, which allows you to stream HD DVR content across the home network to a PC.
