Default Sky+ On Power Failure

If Sky+ is recording and there is a short power failure such that it
comes on before the end of the recording -

Will a) all recording lost
b) recording up to power failure is kept
c) recording will automatically re-commence after power
restored so only part during power failure is lost

None of the above:

d) recording starts afresh after power failure as if it was not
powered on until the power was restored. Sky+ only saves a recording
when it finishes normally.


That's not what happens on mine - I've had a couple of occasions of having
to pull the plug on the Sky+ when recording, and in both cases, the
recording stops and then restarts on the same recording - in the programme
when I watch it, it just jumps between when it finishes (ie, when I pull the
plug) and when it restarts (ie, when I plug the box back in again).

C) is what I experience.
