That being said, it's a sad day today  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-20-2014 08:22 AM                     quote: Philip Jones In a case like this would the content providers reissue KDMs which cover the dates the media block thinks it is so you can still run until the repairs are made? Most certainly not. And it's quite likely that their KDM issuing software would protect from creating KDM with past time windows. I wouldn't even be sure if the CAT 862 would play any encrypted content once the clock has experienced this. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Philip Jones Film Handler Posts: 90 From: England Registered: Dec 2011 posted 12-20-2014 10:08 AM                     Seems stupid that people can lose shows over a battery. I only asked because we had a trailer for Interstellar recently and instead of putting the expiry as 2014, they put 1913 so obviously it can be done.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The CAT862 uses a super-capacitor with a battery backup on top of that. The unit has to be unplugged for something like many months to a year before the battery backup kicks in and then you have the life of the battery...So, in short...unless it is just sitting on a shelf..the CAT862 shouldn't run into battery problems under any sort of normal circumstances.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-20-2014 12:23 PM                    I hope they put new batteries in the ones they send out as RXO's.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-20-2014 01:09 PM                     Let's move all non-cat862 discussion over to this new dedicated thread.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-27-2014 04:30 PM                     The Cat 862 in question here was powered up for several hours each day. Dolby tech support said it was rare for this to happen but not unheard of. I think I mentioned it before but if any of you come across this make sure to go into the bios and reset the system time so that the replacement mediablock will connect.  |  IP: Logged
