I just thought of a good use for one, if they can handle the power: Plug a power strip into it, and then plug all of your regular TV devices into it (TV, cable/satellite box, Blu-ray player, stereo system). Then, when those devices are not being used, you have a "hard" power switch to eliminate all of the standby power used by them. The same concept can be used for computer equipment (CPU, monitor, speakers, maybe printer except some printers use extra ink each time they are hard-powered on).
