My bracket blows up, my DirecTV HD does too
The DirecTV (advanced) phone technician seemed quite shocked by this, especially since it never warned me as it is designed to, that it was getting hot. They're sending out a new unit and hooked me up with 6 months free HBO/3 months free showtime (without me even asking). I guess I should be glad the thing didn't truly catch fire. Still, questionable design, no? Here's the AVS forum post I started on the matter. By Gary Lerhaupt, 04:10 PM in general | Comments (0) |

Well, it wasn't a good weekend for my bracket. After round 1 I was flying high on yahoo's list, in the 95th percentile, but then things started to not go so well. More importantly, on Saturday while watching CBS HD, my DirecTV HD receiver decided to burn out. Presto, I'm talking full pungent smell of burnt plastic eminating from the receiver and no longer will it turn on.
