DVR during power outage

Earlier this week, during the recording of one of my favorite shows, about 30 minutes into the recording, a thunderstorm passed by and I lost power for about 1 minute.  Well unbeknownst to me, in that brief minute, the DVR restarted the recording of the show and the first 30 mins was lost.  Has this ever been reported?

I have not seen the DVR behavior that you described on my FIOS DVR.

Before FIOS I had a Comcraptist DVR and it woudl stop recording during a power outage and then resume where it left off when the power came back on.  To prevent this I put my DVR on a UPS.  It helps to prevent DVR Recording hickups caused by brief outages like the one that you described.

My FIOS DVR recording does get interupted by EAS Messages, but it resumes where it left off once the EAs has completed.
