SAVE MONEY

Ban The Button saves you money by making sure that you switch off appliances that would normally stay in standby mode.

Stop wasting electricity

Many devices such as TVs, DVDs and stereo hi-fi systems are left in standby and using electricity even when not being used.
Other devices like PVRs (Personal Video Recorders such as Sky+ and Virgin V+) and digital TV adapters are unnecessarily
left on all of the time.

According to a report from the consumer magazine, Which?, leaving a typical home entertainment system - TV, DVD, digital
TV receiver and hi-fi - on standby when not in use can cost £40 a year*.

Save £40.00 a year

Using Ban The Button covers, which disable the use of the standby button on remote controls, means you will need to turn
off the electrical device itself and/or at the socket, enabling the cost savings on your electricity bill of £40.00 per year.

A Ban The Button pack contains a simple framed supply of 20 standby button covers in assorted shapes and sizes. In many
cases, just one Ban The Button pack contains enough covers to disable the use of the standby buttons on the main remote
control units that are used in the typical home entertainment system.
