Unfortunately as micro controllers creep into our appliances, this seems

tolerant controllers, hence we get these kind of things happening.Â* I
have a fridge that will just shut itself down when there is a power
glitch and you have to do the "reset" thing by powering down for some
time and then power back up.Â* I've gone so far as to buy a controller
that detects a power deviation and removes power from the fridge for a

suffer from the same types of problems.

Would a UPS do a similar function so it does not see a power loss? I
have them on the TV because a 1 second power out makes the damned DVR go
through about 8 minutes of start up.
