    Newbie equip. protection question...

    You guys have not quite gotton rid of me just yet :) I have a couple of questions: 1. There are two "surge only" (non-backup) outlets on the UPS. Would these be AVR protected? (especially concerned about brown outs...) 2. There is a "Voltage & sensitivity adjustment" control with a low...

    Newbie equip. protection question...

    Thanks for the input everyone. I picked up a APC BN1050 from Costco for $95. It is rated at 1050VA and 630 watts & has AVR, so hopefully it will fit what I need.

    Would a UPS be better for me than a power conditioner?

    Newbie equip. protection question...

    Would this one be sufficient for my RPTV and Audio receiver? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3371538 Also, if I have a 650W audio receiver, does that mean it would take at least a 650W UPS to protect it?

    Newbie equip. protection question...

    When my central air kicks on my lights dim very briefly. Should this be a concern as far as hurting my A/V equipment? I am mainly concerned about my Toshiba 65" RPTV and Onkyo 601 receiver. Is their a UPS or power surge protecter that I could get for less than $100 that would help protect...

    Any risk/benifit of including card?

    You would think that they would WANT someone to buy my two unactivated UTV receivers and activate them. Especially considering the $10/month UTV fee that they charge...

    Any risk/benifit of including card?

    I just called DTV and was told that if I sold it that the buyer woukd not be able to activate it at all because DTV no longer activates used equipment. Did I just get an anal rep or could this be true?

    Any risk/benifit of including card?

    I am selling my UTV's, are their any risks with including my cards (after the units have been deactivated)? Would the buyer even benifit from having my card or would he still need a new one from DTV regardles?

    Price drop for H/D Tivo?

    If you order a HDTivo from valueelectronics, do they also send you the card or do you have to order that from *DTV?

    Possible to have +90 signal for all 3 sat's?

    Located in Michigan and have a 3 LNB dish. I don't really have any signal strength problems except for the HD channels on the 100 sat. Should I expect to be able to have 90+ signal from all 3 sat's on a sunny/clear day or is it too much to expect to have all three have high signal strength?

    Possible to have +90 signal for all 3 sat's?

    I seem to lose my HD stations rather easily when it rains, my signals on 110 are 68, 75 & 83. All signals for the other 2 sat's are 90+. Should I expect to have 90+ signal on all 3 sat's?
