[QUOTE="Topper, post: 715417, member: 186250"] No problem I am sure AS is not offended.... For you the annoying factor is that it has never been used and is now out of warranty. The fact that it is OK when initially switched on indicates that a component is going out of tolerence when warmed up. Even more annoying is that it could just be a capacitor that is swollen, which often happens when the stb's are mass produced using cheap components and then the unit is not used for a while, a bit like when an AA battery is left in some equipment for many months and leaks a bit. So I would if I was you cut your losses and buy something decent. As a last resort though, if this is an HD stb why have you not got it connected using HDMI cable, or is your TV not HD? [/QUOTE]
