I can't get to the plug on the DVD player to turn it off
Well, technically I can, if I knew which cord it was. And if I wanted to crawl around on the floor everyday re-powering my component system.
What bugs me about my stereo (and many devices) is that 'Off' isn't off, it's 'standby' so you can use your remote to re-power it. Or that it keeps the power running to the clocks.
I really need to find a website that shows how much power stuff like that chews up per annum. Maybe then we could afford insulation too.
