How do you OTA folks record?

My unit arrived in early February and died in mid September of 2009.  When I tried to get a replacement I found that Dish does not have any warrenty whatsoever, and they will not repair them either.

Acts like the power supply is dead.  When I bought from Dish I did not anticipate zero warrenty.

Crack it open and have a look for loose connections  / fried power supply.  Opening the case is a pain; see the instructions on avsforums for installing a larger hard drive to show you how to open it up.  #8 here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1099071#A5

Fried power supplies generally will have that burnt electric smell, no?

Let us know what you find.
