Re: 8100HD keep turning off
No it does not have an internal fan? Would this matter if they do not manufacture with fans and if heating was an issue why didnt they install one.

Re: 8100HD keep turning off
If you have it in a entertainment center that is closed in,take it out,I had quite a few STBs do this to me,if your problem persists you could load your factory file back on and send it in for replacement.
 Full 5 year warranty covers parts and labor. All repairs /warranties cost only US$29 for shipping and handling fee that is none refundable but required on all products .
*We no longer provide warranty service for our discontinued 4000 models(4000Pro and 4000Plus)
Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Re: 8100HD keep turning off
I apologize for the info but it does actually shut down all the way. It just resets itself every couple of hours. Do you think its the bin file?

Re: 8100HD keep turning off
Yes that is correct it just reboots itself. But it seems to be fine for a few hours with all the latest bins.
