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!"
I don't have a set top box and will never get one. I use Media Center as my DVR and the set top boxes are too restrictive using Media Center. If and when the cable companies move to all digital and thus forcing people to purchase the more expensive cable subscriptions, I will stop getting my TV from cable and get it from the Internet - Hulu.com, CBS.com, etc.
