My wireless remote plug has bust that I used to turn my XLS200 sub off and on. So I thought might aswell try 1 of these intelliplug things... http://www.oneclickpower.com/store/gbu0-prodshow/TVA106.html

But I think you need to use the remote sensor it comes with, can anyone confirm this and if you need to use the sensor, how long is the cable??

To date OneClick have sold over half a million products and we estimate that together we’ve saved almost 23 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions.

That means roughly 40 tonnes of CO2 per user, or 80,000 KWh electricity saved. Even at 3KW maximum load (not your average TV!!) that equates to over 3 years of the unit turning your TV off with you never using it at all.

IE They are spouting B*******S

I tried this now the issue is it sleeps after like 15 seconds or so if the power its recieving drops below a certain amount, as your sub is not always using much it will just keep turning off

It was even kinda useless for my tv as in dark movies the tv power usage dropped below the required amount and the tv would just shut off

So changed to a rf controlled socket and it sorted out all my issues

Ive ordered a slightly diff one,, so hopefully when I turn my amp off, my sub will follow soon after,, or thats the idea anyway. I will let you guys know if it does the job or not... The prob with these remote/intelli plug things is that they dont last long.

I'm currently having the exact same problem. Worked fine on a CRT and used to work fine on my G10, however, recently it's been turning off during dark scenes in films. Kill Bill Vol.2 was a pain for it, when Uma is in the coffin.

What did you replace it with?

I receive the "desktop computer" intelliplug version this morning and it seem to be working fine atm.

About 3secs after turning on the the amp, the sub turns on. so both amp and sub are about fully powered up at the same time, cos the amp takes about 3-4secs to fully powered up. Then the sub gets turned off after about 3secs of turning off the amp... So for my use, it couldn't be any better designed if you tried.

But the big thing, how long will it last!!!!
