I don't understand this suggestion from Weaknees support, but it seems to be working: plug the Bolt into the wall instead of the surge protector. The first week after activating, our new Bolt spontaneously rebooted twice, once while the drive was being accessed from a Mini and once while we were watching a recorded show directly on the Bolt.
I was worried about the upgraded 2TB disk, but Weaknees suggested it could be the power strip. In the week since plugging this TiVo into the wall, it has been behaving. But it was using a high-end APC surge protector power strip with digital filtering. The eight year-old HD it replaced was plugged into an analog filtering outlet on the same surge protector for five years. All our other equipment is also plugged into the same surge protector without any issues.
I would think surge protectors good, wall outlets bad, no? The voltage drop inside there can't be that large. What is it about Bolt power supplies?
