[RFI] Yet more wallwarts

[Pete Smith]

I just got done ordering three digital adapter boxes for the remaining 
analog TV sets in our house, a change required by Comcast's impending 
change to all-digital cable.  Interestingly, they will rent you the 
first two free, probably a hangover from the debate about the social 
implications of requiring poor people to buy digital adapters if they 
were dependent on Basic Cable.  Anyway... from the video on their web 
site it appears that each of these will require a wallwart, and the 
wallwarts will be the nifty new ones that sit crosswise on the 
plug-strip, so as not to block other outlets.  Nifty, except that I 
think, judging by weight, that these are all switching types.  I wonder 
how much additional noise will result...

Coming soon, to a cable system near you.
