  Power Strip with Timer

  If, like me, your apartment or condo outlets aren't wired to on/off switches, and the motion sensor power console keeps flipping off your tv, another great power strip solution is to buy one with a timer.  

  Philips makes one that I plug our TV & Cable Box into. Our Comcast cable box draws 40W, even when it is off. Thing is, I usually want the cable box on, even when the tv is off, so I can record shows on my DVR.

  I don't record at night, however. So, the timer just shuts the whole system down at night, but powers up the cable box in the morning, so it can redownload the channel guide and all of my DVR settings by the time I'm ready for the morning news.

  Awesome, and slightly diturbing, article. My husband and I have been experimenting independently on this front, and agree that the Seventh Generation is worth the extra cost.  And you can get it for much cheaper on drugstore.com!On A review of recycled toilet-paper brands posted 2 years ago 21 Responses
