I think its the first model HD decoder-software problem

Is there much of a market for second-hand SD dualview PVR's?

Yes, they enable you to have 3 viewing environments and record 3 channels when coupled to a hdpvr. Also you can replace the hard drive yourself.

The fan on mine is kaput. Replacing it should be easy enough, but where can I source that fan?
 
Some of our HD channels don't work.Is this an issue with any of you guys I mean we have fiddled with the wires many times but it doesn't seem to be a connection issue.
 
HD Decoders

I have a old SD PVR... works like a old Lister...... no issues.
New HD PVR:
KEEP THEM COLD........... sorry for the shout but they all have heat issues. Ventilation ventilation and more ventilation.
Old Black Pace PVR has a hardware issue on the HDMI - it is not CEC compatible. This means that devices that communicate with each other via the HDMI will give you issues.
The New silver 4 PVR does not break the communication and my TV can communicate with my Home theatre.
I still have software issues:
1. Remote eye disable by itself :mad: My decoder is not in the same room....
2. Keep on jumping to the previous channel. Hard reset is the only thing that work.

You know you are getting a SH*TY product when the official support message is to:
Power down - Power up. - Best way to hide software bugs.
 
I had one of the 1st HD PVR's (P30000xxxx). Had it for around 15 months. Endless issues, freezing up, randomly rebooting, remote unresponsive, scheduled recordings failing to initialize, unresponsive menu browsing. I had just about every nuance associated with these HD PVR's. Returned it yesterday to MC and swapped it out for a refurb (no charge). The difference is chalk and cheese. New unit is just superb, loving it...
