TV Power Lead question

TV Power Lead question
I'm trying to minimise the mass of plugs behind my TV.
I saw on the cpc.co.uk website, that they do IEC power leads split with a Figure of 8 lead.
Now this would run my TV and cable receiver of the one plug.
Or would there be any pending issues with this?
They would both be on all the time with each other, the only time they are not, is if I am watching a DVD.

13 amps is the maximum that you can draw through one plus and this equates to about 3,000 watts. My big CRT draws about 140 watts and my enormous and power hungry LCD under 300 watts. My set-top box is rated at somewhere bwteen nothing and a tiny amount.
Id say that you could wire up the two devices you mentioned using a 5 amp fuse, or leave the 13 amp fuse in and add a two bar electric fire too!
