    A "normal" TV (i.e. not one that features cable/satellite, 3D, projector or >40") was missing from the list. Also, with the "Freeview" box... what if you own a TV with a Freeview receiver (or two) built-in?

    You could also add the following:
    • PVR (hard disk recorder for TV programmes)
    • Ethernet-only router
    • Wireless 802.11b/802.11g router
    • Wireless draft 802.11n router
    • Wireless 802.11n router
    • "Non-smart" mobile phone
    • Hi-fi separates
    • Sat-Nav
    • GPS
  • Remote Control Sockets?
    CCTV, as mentioned above?
    Those wireless/cordless mobile phone or gadget chargers? I can't remember what they're called?
    While we're at it, solar powered battery or mobile phone chargers, eg free-loaders?
    Solar Powered (Garden) lighting?
    Cordless telephones?
