That's how the service techs tell you to reset the device when you're having a problem. Once plugged in again you have to wait for the box to rescan for all the channels. Further after a certain number of days, the card with deactivate.

You need to give people accurate information, so they'll follow through with saving energy and continue the practice.

I have a million things I could be unplugging that I don’t.

Power strips make it easy too by just enabling you to unplug the whole thing when you are done. Zero chance of any electricity “escaping” plus zero chance of your computer or something being fried in a surprise electrical storm when you’re not there.

I think we are all getting so lazy that we can't be bothered to even switch things on and off properly anymore! I go round thehousr switching things off after my kids as they don't even seem to think about it. I am going to make them read this.

I'm always leaving the cell phone in too long after recharging and leave the computer on all night sometimes.

Maybe time to make some changes. Thanks for the tips.
