We were having some less than a second power blips that would knock out

Problem solved.



Problem may not be solved. My BIL had his satellite system on a UPS to
take care of the blips then one day when they were away from the house
for a few hours because the power had gone out for an extended period of
time the UPS went dead and the satellite tuner/DVR permanently freaked
out because of the low voltage coming from the UPS as it was running out
of back up power. He created his own brown out machine. The whole
tuner/DVR had to be replaced.

Thanks for making me feel confident.

If only the DVR could power down like a computer does when the power is out
for more than a few minutes.
