Remote Control Extension Advice

I have just purchased one of these remote control extension leads.
Unless I have in some way set this up incorrectly, I wrongly assumed that I would be able to turn off each individual plug on the extension. Getting it home it seems that I can only turn on/off all the plugs on the unit.
Does anybody know of any such item that I might be able to buy?
I have considered the individual remote control plugs but I really need a whole unit that has six sockets. This is because I have to leave some appliances on constantly and the other items are on at various times for a varity of reasons.
Any suggestions?

The third of the reviews for that device makes the same point.I have just purchased one of these remote control extension leads.

Perhaps we are in the early days of remote-controlling extensions!0 -
Unfortunately i bought it from B&Q without doing any research before hand.
Does anybody know if there is such an appliance that can control the individual sockets?0
