Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a Belkin Surge Protector to connect my TV, PS4, Sound bar and Hypp Tv.
However, unlike the conventional power strip that can be baught from Tesco, etc, the Belkin does not come with switches beside each plug.
How do I turn off devices that are not in use? For example, during a gaming session, I do not want my Hypp Tv to be switched on or even be on standby mode which still consumes power.

Looking forward to your response.  smile.gif

So, Belkin is not that reliable?
What brand would you guys suggest that I use? I intend to place it behind my TV cabinet and I feel that the Power Logic AVR is too big and bulky.

Also, can I use surge protectors bought from the USA?

I also claim warranty twice from belkin. Their warranty is quite reliable if you have all the receipts, but no they do not fully protect your equipment.

I was informed that if you chose to claim warranty on the electrical items, you cannot claim the Belkin Surge Protector. You have to surrender the faulty Belkin Surge Protector.
If you don't claim the electrical items, then they will exchange a new Belkin Surge Protector (same model) for you.

Is the T&C same as above?

Last time they replace the Belkin Surge Protector on the spot, but the cheque for claim of my fried LAN card was received months after.

When was that?

Few years ago, I went to their warehouse somewhere in Taman Desa IIRC. Got the info from some blog.... And yes, they paid the market value for the damage equipment, not the price you paid.
