I use a couple of these. One on my main lounge front end. I have it so 
that the amp is the source that turns on and off the sub and the TV. The 
PC is not switched. I do it that way as I also use the amp for my radio 
and the TV goes into power save mode anyway after a short time.
The other one is for my olds Computer. Turn the PC on and it turns on 
the ADSL router, Monitor speakers and skype phone. Works well for what I 
use them for.

I have been thinking about getting LIRC to turn the amp off at the same 
time that myth turns off the TV when not in use, but havn't got around 
to working on that as have other more pressing tasks at hand. ;)
