Did NOT mean to intimate sloth on your part Gregs!
No, what I meant was, many power switches are very inaccessible once kit is installed and (for some reason, beats me!) peeps want to switch things individually .
Then I understand the "switched power outlet" is almost unknown in the US? My gear you see is mainly on a single double 13amp outlet and so I just bang on the two socket switches and R&R!
I also have wireless switches on my TV and a Freeview hard drive recorder. The TV especially needs a "hard reset" quite often and the HDR now and again. Handy to be able to do this without grovelling in the dust and spiders behind the kit! Wife moves with great difficulty and has a lamp behind her again on a WS.
Me? Oh yes, lazy bastard!
