Will we need to have this on a dedicated outlet? We will be buying two of them and the tv will be on the same breaker. Also, can you switch out the

If I understand your question correctly the answer is yes. That's a pretty standard set-up and it was designed to handle that exact situation. Of course you have to have power running to that outlet for it to function. Grounding and polarity have to be right too.

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

If your asking about the 110 volt connecting cable that powers the TV then here's a idea. Buy a 14/2 extension cable instead of getting the wire and the plug separately. be sure it will be long enough to meet your needs before removing the outlet. For if its not you'll have new extension cord! Good luck.

yes you must exchange, Or have an electrician change the outlet. It is easy to go down in voltage (change the outlet and cap one power leg)-- This unit is only set up for 115V

Hello Rob; I have used it on my Tv but not my computer. No particular reason. I would use a good powerstrip with a breaker but it would be best to check with a person who has the credentials before I used it on my computer. Somebody at Best Buy for example that is a member of their Geek Squad. Personally, if it were me ,I would do it because I have a 60.00 Powerstrip.

Have any of you used all these 3 outlets in one room? I wish there were 3 outlets and 3 remotes. If I have to walk around carrying the remote wherever the outlet is installed, what is the purpose of the remote?I bought a similar product at Menards for $9.99 to use in the bedroom to switch off the lamp.

Maybe I'm missing the question but you only should have Neutral, Ground and Hot coming into a plug anyway. But yes, I've got it on the beginning of a run for my home theatre center so I can both track the power consumption of the "entertainment system" in my living room and also with the ability to shut it off when needed from remote. Works good. 14 g wire is the highest it will work with though, so if you are on a 20 amp circuit or an overbuilt 15 amp then you will need to do some creative wire nutting.

If I understand you correctly, you have a switch that turns off both outlets, and you want to have one always on... You would need to rewire the outlet so one side is constant power, and the other is operated by the switch (otherwise when the switch is turned off both legs of the outlet will have no power). Now what you could do once you have constant power to the switch is have the switch operate the non controlled side of the outlet, and have the other outlet be controlled via a Insteon hub.

You could use a TV cable outlet cover. It has a hole that is the same size as the rocker switch and come in various shades of plastic or metal. Amazon has these on their web site under "cable outlet" covers. I hope this helps you.

You can plug anything in, they're just suggestions. The one thing to check is the switched vs. unswitched banks of outlets. The unswitched stay on if the power switch on the power strip is turned off, whereas the others stay on. Useful to think about how you might use the power strip's switch (e.g. leave DVR on as who cares if it is fried, but switch off all the amplifiers).

You would only need that if you had only 1 outlet available. But if you're able to use 2 then you don't need it

Indeed this switcher requires AC Power. Know also that you have to manually flip a little switch to toggle between devices. In other words, they will not both work at the same time.

This will work for you. I have two of these, one each entertainment center, and have outlets left over on both.

correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only one video input right? So only option is a video split or a y rca two inputs one out put plug into TV, but one will over power the other so you the an actual switch with the the same two inputs one out into TV. You can buy at Walmart, electronic store.

mine couldn't....idk why ive seen people on here saying they had no problems but mine wouldn't work.. i could turn one tv on and it worked but if i tried to switch tvs i had to unplug them both and plug the one i wanted on in first and it would work...it was just easier to buy one with a power source. haven't had a problem since.

Yes, mostly. This provides a kill switch which stops all electricity to devices connected to it, that way you can connect multiple devices and shut them down completely ensuring you are not being charged I have done that for my tv, cable box, xbox, etc as turn them off at night completely. Saves some money.
