What about the TV etc?
I understand unplugging your electronics or switching off the surge protector when you're not using them saves you money. However, what happens to your settings when the power is unplugged? Do you lose your settings? I take time to set the values on my tv and receiver to my preference and if those values get lost every time I unplug them, then unless the savings are substantial (at least $50 a year), I'm not gonna buy into this. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to cut the fat and save money. But there's a point where it's too much hassle and for me that point is when I have to adjust settings on my tv, dvd, receiver, etc every time. So the question is, does using Bye Bye Standby or turning off your surge protector result in this consequence, or do appliances normally have some kind of memory, b/c I don't think they do. Let me know
thanks
