I bought a new surge strip maybe 6 months ago that had a higher number of outlets, in order to accommodate a new XBox 360, so now I am currently maxed out with no outlets free. I wish I had gotten one size bigger, but too late now.
So, when I get my new receiver, which hopefully is soon, I will have to figure out a solution. I would rather not go out and spend another $20 or so to get an additional strip with more outlets as I am already over budget.
So I am wondering...if my cable box has a built in outlet on back, could I use this for one of the lower end components (maybe the Wii for example?) to save an outlet?
Are there problems with using this outlet on the back of a cable box?
