And the point of this is?

I've got a far cheaper solution - it's this funny little thing on the wall socket called the 'off switch'. For those sockets in my house which don't have one of these, I use a technique called 'pulling the plug' - quick, simple and cheap (granted, the socket for my PS2/hifi combo is difficult to reach, but not insurmountably so)

Oh yeah, my method also means that I don't have yet another remote control unit to lose behind the sofa ;-)
