[QUOTE="Llew, post: 90416, member: 175007"] Hi AS Yes, I've had a 3000ip for years, it's used daily. It's had the full gamut of Cams poked into it without too many problems. Cards from circuit boards with pics and eeproms sticking out the front through to Matrix et al. A small fan keeps the heat out nicely, but I had an SMPS failure a while ago - there's a known hot spot ahead of the transformer that supplies the DC voltages. A WW resistor gets rather warm and burns the board. I put an uprated wattage replacement here, and changed the electrolytic capacitor adjacent to it (they dry out due to the heat). Also, I inadvertantly short circuited the LNB supply once when connecting the coax (tut, tut, should have turned it off), so I had to replace a voltage regulator. All in all, a great receiver and as you say, would be interested in other owners' opinions. Llew [/QUOTE]
