That's a good idea. I use one for the fan on the file cabinet, so I
don't have to get up when I'm on the computer.

And I used to use one to turn the tv on and off when I was in bed.
Then I got one with remote control that forgot something, maybe the
station list, when unplugged. The one there now might well not
forget, so I should go back to using the wired switch, which is easier
to find and easier to use than the remote.


A lot of TVs forget to be on once power has been removed. Anyone using
hard power switches or home automation would be interested in which
TVs don't have this problem. I have 2 Magnavox sets and a Sylvania
that don't. Both are 15-inch LCD TVs.

I've found that most (smaller) LCD TVs seem to have 'better' memory
when power is interrupted.


Remove NOPSAM to email me..

I know this is not email (and wouldn't suggest otherwise).
