    Hi Forum,

    Hopefully I got the right forum for this.

    I'm looking at buying a 'Standby Saver' See Here(Seen it in Tesco for €11 today). And I intend to buy a Belkin SurgeMaster, 1-Way SurgeCube, See Here

    The plan is to plug all my appliances to the Standby Saver bridge, plug that into the Surge Master and plug the lot into the wall.

    I am worried about surge protection, I have a 42inch LCD, an All In One Blu Ray Home Cinema, FreeSat PVR and a DVD Recorder soon to be replaced with a SaorView PVR when they come come out.

    Is this enough protection for all my gear or should I go for a dedicated Surge Protection Power Bridge like this.

    I really like the idea of having the Standby Saver. The 'Standby Saver' Website says on it's website that Surge REDUCTION is fitted. Reduction as opposed to protection is what's bothering me about it. What do ye reckon lads, is this combined with a Single socket surge protection up to the job?

    I'm running pretty much your proposed setup and it's grand. I've a heat pump that gives a good spike every time it switches on and it sometimes caused my computer to reboot, but not a bother now.

    The ir power bar is very handy too, I recommend it. My av gear is in a cupboard so it's handy to switch it all off without struggling behind shelves.
