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!"
Good point, Fuzz. I actually had to have D* send someone backup to patch up an installer's shoddy work a couple years ago. The problem is, D* contracts out it's installers and try to play the "it's not us, don't blame us" game when you call them up.
@Nonya, even a perfect install will not overcome lack of signal strength. Others in different areas have varying experiences during rain. Mine got significantly worse going from the standard dish to the (much) larger HD dish.
