Hi guys, I have bought a Humax DVB PVR. It's great except the fact it gets very hot!
I've read the instruction booklet, all it says is allow 10cm on each side..
Each side has about 4 cm
The top of it has ventellation grills, and there is about 6 or 7cm there.
It is on top of a Philips CD-i player which radiates no heat as it's turned off at the mains most of the time.
It's inside a TV Cabinet with a Glass door front. The cabinet bizzarely seems to have no ventellation holes at all except for a circular hole at the back where all the wires go.
Is there anything I can do? What are the risks of overheating it? Fire? Damage?
When it got particularly hot I noted it couldn't display some channels "This channel is either scrambled or unavailable" - putting it in standby and taking it out fixed this though.
Regards,
