thanks. That one is way out of my budget so I'll have to see what else they have. My local store doesn't seem to have any so I'll go to staples. I do have the 515 now. I've had it since January and this is the 2nd time this has happened. Not bad so far but we tend to get more of these mini outages in the winter than in the summer. I already have my computer and router hooked up to a ups but it isn't within reach of the dvd and I'm already using all of the plugs on it for my computer stuff. I don't want to record during a power failure (unless it just so happens something is set to record then) but mainly so that I don't have to do this soft reset again, if possible. I don't even know yet if it'll come out of this one or not. The last time I had to leave it unplugged for about 6 hours.

We don't have costco or sam's here. Only walmart and staples. I live in a very rural area.

I also have APC BackUPS 1500VA (both old white and new black), two inverters (1500w and 2500w) and some smaller units. The new APC fan runs for 4 hours even if the power drops for 1 second. Do you expect to record during a power failure? Do you just want to just keep a powered off unit maintain it's schedule and time? You could probably upgrade to the 515H for what a good UPS will cost. But the UPS does other things, like power your router & cable/DSL modem, answering machine, TV, STB, and probably computer for a while. |
