I had never heard of this, but it sounds like a good idea to me so I figured I'd post it up for you guys. I personally use my TV so little that the power strip stays unplugged for weeks at a time, but for those who use it more this could be a good energy saver. Its even pretty cheap too,
only $18 on Amazon.
P3 - Save A Watt TV Standby Killer
Quote:
Stop energy hogging TVs which continue to draw electricity even in “off mode”. Now you can really turn off your TV with the TV Standby Killer.
Use it in conjunction with your existing remote to make sure that when the power button is pushed to off it is really off and not in power sucking standby mode. Sound systems and video game consoles on standby also viciously chomp on your wallet, so let the TVSBK fight FOR you. Installation and usage are simple. Now you can rest easy knowing that you’re saving money and creating a safer living environment since a device left in standby mode is more likely to contribute to shock or fire hazard.
Take charge of your entertainment system. Say goodbye to standby and hello to savings.
• Turn standby mode into REAL off mode
• Eliminates standby power completely
• Easy to install
