[QUOTE="LAV, post: 93978, member: 1123"] :o With all due respect, you really have to phyiscally unplug stuff when there are thunderstorms about. I have to stress - line conditioners and UPS units are designed to protect against moderate problems. Lightning is firmly on the apocalyptic scale when it comes to its effect on power and communications grids. Turning the unit off will not provide sufficient isolation from the grid for stuff still plugged in. If a lightning strike can travel thousands of meters through the air, a switch is not going to be much trouble for it to cross. Small UPS: 600VA line interactive should be fine and quite fast enough for your PVR. [/QUOTE]
