You would need the ability in a PVR to come back on and start up when power was restored. I think this can be set in the BIOS or with a jumper on some units (I don't recall which).

Yep, both computers are heavily suppressed and I have the Bios' in each set to do a reboot, even when in soft off.
The desktop here is designed to stay off if the power fails, that's to give the now rather elderly UPS a chance to wheeze it's battery back to a reasonable state of charge. A PVR (obviously) would be set to come back on, when power was restored.
Was looking through the VHS collection today, had my annual viewing of Scrooge the 1951 film with Alastair Sim, on VHS in all it's monochromatic glory. I really need to get a widescreen DVD copy, maybe after Christmas when everything is even more on sale. Saw the colourized version once, thought it a waste of tape, the movie really needs to be seen in B&W.
