We wouldn't want that to happen would we? Well, no - I certainly wouldn't. If I decide that a TV show is something I want to watch, then I take reasonable precautions to make sure the recording will take place. Given the number of $K I've spent on A/V equipment, an extra $150 or so on a battery backup to tide me over the vagaries of power supplied by PG&E doesn't seem unreasonable. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
