Greg, my last one was bought from Best Buy and it lasted all of 4 months. I received a refurb one (see last post) and it lasted over a year. Even buying at Best Buy it is still leased and DirecTV retains ownership. This is OK as long as they continue to send out a replacement for a defective one. No problem for me to return the broke one also. I, long ago, quit expecting this electronic gear to last too long. As long as I can get them replaced I am a happy camper. Sometimes the refurb ones last longer cause they actually QC them, unlike a factory new one. At least that is what I like to think. Thanks for your advice though.....

Phil
