People running their coax thru a surge suppressor of any kind sometimes have problems with the picture, but losing channels could also just mean that the suppressor or UPS circuit is losing signal strength just enough for digital channels to drop off the "digital cliff," which is described here.
It doesn't take much to drop a digital signal that's already on the low side of power.
I'm thinking an amp just before the UPS might alleviate this problem, if it occurs at all in your system.

Now im not sure what to do, i might just buy a cheap ups, like APC Back-UPS ES 450VA , and just place it after the panamax... decisions.....
, this hdd recorder is hurting my wallet... but i love buying stuff, just dislike when it doesnt work.![]()
