I'd like to see the second half of that in print.

I run the composite output of my HR24 through a modulator to a second room and the receiver has a method built into it to adjust the resolution of the receiver so the second output can be used. If you can't use both outputs, why do they build in a quick button (hold EXIT) to accommodate using both outputs?

A small TV might draw less than 100 VA.

That seems suspect, a misinterpretation like the one made by the DirecTV in the first post.

In fact, the following products, to my recollection, are ALL over 100VA, so it really does bear looking into:
microwave
toaster
toaster oven
large electric drill
hair dryer
most A/V receivers
skil saw
sawzall
some lights
-- it's illegal to screw in a 150W bulb? replace a 300W work light?
