I would like a replacement router as this one keeps turning its self off up tofour times a dayp tivo
Are you certain that it's the router that's at fault? Is it wireless or wired? What about your wall power?: Does it fluctuate too much?
If wall power is the true culprit, you may find that a UPS ("Unlimited Power Supply") proves quite useful. Basically, a UPS is a sophisticated battery solution--the units incorporate powerful lead-acid batteries--the same type of batteries as those used for starting autos--merely smaller and less powerful.
A surge protector can't bump up power--a UPS may, though--it attempts to "smooth" current--putting less stress upon devices-- perhaps making them last better and longer.
In the event of a power emergency, UPSes may continue to power your TV/TiVo and your router/modem (perhaps located in another room). At least for a few minutes, you may be able to obtain news and weather. Given that your smartphone or tablet is dead, a UPS certainly may keep it alive. (UPSes do "beep" when running on battery power.)
I've noted at stores that your TiVo proves quite expensive. The UPS concept has been invoked widely--practically since the beginning--in business/enterprise, educational, and government computing. Thus, the UPS proves out now as a better home theater solution.
Where your router is, your modem likely is nearby: Plug it into a UPS, as well. Don't get rid of your surge-protector!: Those will remain useful. Certainly, you may plug it into a UPS--if you need more sockets. (Naturally, every such solution has its limits.)
UPS batteries likely will last several years: Generally, DIY replacement proves relatively easy. A great many online vendors service battery customers--replacement batteries at stores now are proving increasingly more available, too. Many differing "brands" often prove compatible.
One fault of a UPS: It's yet another "vampire current" in your home. When you leave your home or sleep, you may switch off the UPS--that ends that current drain. When leaving for vacation, you may then switch it off and unplug it--then, all connected devices are protected from lightning surges while you're away!
Lightning damage proves more common than most Americans believe. Nothing, save perhaps unplugging, can prevent damage from a direct lightning hit. In most circumstances, I do believe that a UPS will protect better then than surge protectors. My brother's TV was damaged by a lightning surge during a crazy weather event--he used a good surge protector, too: My stuff never has been damaged by lightning surges, though. I live nearby.
Needless to say, I've been a big fan of the UPS for a long time!
I have the same problem. it started about 5 months ago that the tv would just go blank and the green light flashed exactly 38 times then it would come back on. back when it first started it was only once in a while (every few days) in the last week it happens every 20 minutes or so and sometimes when it comes back on it turns itself off within minutes. so now when I watch a game during that 3 hour span it may go on and off 18 times. whats funny is I have a 12 year old MAGNAVOX big screen and never had one minutes trouble, over 3 grand wasted on a piece of crap! ever try to get sony customer service on line, thats a trip in itself!
I am now having this same problem. I've had the set for 3 years now...trouble free. It shuts off & comes back on every 2 minutes.
the tv gose black and the green light flashed about 30 times then it would come back on.
TV turns off for about 2 minutes and back on for about the same length of time and off again. Problem started about 2 weeks ago when it did this four times and then operated OK for 2 weeks and now started again with the on/off and now unable to watch. Pulled up your site on the computer to see if anyone else having same problem and have not contacted Sony or a repair service at this time. Let me know if anyone with the same problem has found the solution.
TV goes on and off on its own. TV is 16 months old, this problem started about 6 weeks ago and is getting progressively worst. Only good thing is i bought a 4 year warranty from Best Buy. Last Sony i ever buy. Lets not mention the blue line at the bottom. Look to Samsung, or other in the future.
we have had the kdf-55wf655 for 2 year and this will be the third time for it to be in the shop! 1st... the bulb(which was not 1 yr old) 2nd the red light would blink 6 times - thermal fuse (a two hour trip to houston and 350. dollars later;since there is not a Sony service center in Beaumont Hmm wonder why they would make a killing!) and now it turns itself off and on about every 3 - 5 min and pic is dark. called the 800 #... what a joke! she could hardly speech english and told me to complain I had to write a letter!!!! ( Some technology Sony has! NO EMAIL I would have to wait for the bird to to fly over and drop it off!!! Ha Ha --- not laughing!) No more SONY in my house....
