This says it automatically switches off to save power. *If you are not
using any power, how would turning itself off save anything?

Hi,
Do you inplug you TV or turn it of from remote? Do you see clock running
on your microwave oven when it is not cooking anything? Well? Having
problem understanding the product description?


Actually, there are SOME applications where this thing makes sense,
like the PC with accessories connected and all located close enough to
plug in to one strip. But the typical home entertainment gear or
microwave oven sure aren't good examples. Every time the power goes
off here, I have to go reset the settings in some of the home
entertainment gear, eg selection of the appropriate input, so it will
work again. Some settings that aren't retained are even buried in
a second level menu. And of course, once you use this to turn off
your TV, you aren't going to turn it back on with the remote. Then,
there are the various items that have clocks in them, etc.
