(they're cheaper on ebay than in the shops by the way...they should pay for themselves with the ££££ you save on electric bills...that's if you remember to use them of course!)

I generally concentrate my efforts on making more money rather than saving money!
Your right those remote control mains switchs are great for switch off all the tv's and what have you. One thing is if you have neighbours make sure they cant switch yours off and on

Also make sure your pvr and pc are all shutdown first otherwise the cost saving might mean you killing your hard disk
