Phxprovostwell if this product can make your life easier thats great but it seems its trading a wire run with a power outlet, which might not be possible for some people -like me, im suprised my house hasnt burnt down yet :p
i'm confident that wherever my TV or PC screen may be, it will have a power socket. this device wont be heavy power use anyway, educated guess is <50W, possibly as low as the average wireless router (<20W)

Well...at least this is a step towards a truly wireless experience with your rig nowhere near you. Wireless keyboard, mouse, headset and display. Just need a wireless...power source. :laugh:

50W or even 20W seems like a lot to me.

Especially if it doesn't auto-power down/up, you would have it on all the time burning juice unless you manually do it every time or use a power saver strip (which are actually really great, I just wish there was one that had an output to control more than one as a slave as 4 slave sockets at 2kw is not always enough).
