[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1006741"] Really, as Terry says, you should make the original supplier sweat a bit. Consumer appliances should not catch fire (althoug I do believe V boxes are known to do so). There should be some major compensation, apart from supplying a replacement box. Even if out-of-warranty. TBH any of the VBOXes will be little better than what you have. Build quality seem to vary, and they're probably made more or less the same place anyway. Except, of course, for the Titanium box (ASC1), which is engineered to a different level. I'm sure Brian would be horrified if one of his devices caught fire! It also has a different price-tag, though. But perhaps worth it for sleeping well? Assuming you used DiSEqC (and not USALS), I would assume you need to re-do the set-up... But hey, that's the fun bit, isn't it? Opportunity to fine-tune dish, perhaps?? :) [/QUOTE]
