Sometimes I can hear it power on and off - not sure what it is doing. Since my tv is wall mounted and I've used a recessed electrical outlet - for a less corded install - I don't have room for a power bar behind the tv I was thinking about installing a GFCI upstream and just hitting the test button to keep the vampire power from going into the tv. Not a great solution but I didn't think to make the outlet a switched outlet. Ah well next time.<br/><br/>One issue I've heard is that some printers need to power down properly otherwise the ink dispenser can line up in a way such that ink dries on the tip and causes printing defects.

With winter heating just around the corner, I'll be looking to shave money off the utility bills any way I can. :-)<br/>Plus, conservation is almost always a good thing. Good idea!
