We got one sample of both the PC and TV Tricklesaver, they come packed in these white and green boxes. On the front there is a picture of the device itself and on the back there are main features and how to connect these devices to your system.
This is the TV version of the Tricklesaver, it has to power plugins where one is slave and one is master. On the main "box" they have printed their logo and in the manual you are able to read instructions on how to set the device up. There is some minor tweaking to get it running as you want it, although you only need a minute or two to do this.
