Leaving receiver on - ABA DSS

**LadyVanita** · May 15th, 2008

Is it hard on them. I am only running the one receiver and am running a cable from living room to bedroom so I can watch in there too. Usually, turn bedroom tv off, and don't go to living room to turn the receiver off. Will this practice wear it out?

Well for my Cw800 abd neosat I had left them all night and has happend notthing. As long the vents are not covered with something they should be right. But now is days that another story.

just as long as the receiver is in a place to keep it from getting to hot.it's just like a little computer and who knows how many of those are left on 24/7 for years. a electronics worst enemy is heat

I never turn mine off unless I do a hard reboot and mine seems to be doing well. My personal opinion is that you use more internal parts turning it on and off so I choose to leave mine on.

doesn't hurt a thing Lady.many leave them on all the time year in and year out,including myself.no worries.

thanks arbor ... my panny was left on for years ... lord knows if it was running I didn't want to mess it up ......... but now we are talking about my new baby. When I downloaded this morning she was abit warm, cooled off quickly, but it did make me wonder. I ordered the remote control extenders that you suggested, but coming from the states it will take awhile.
(It's cold getting out of a warm bed to run down the hall ......... burr !!!!!! and that only works if I actually wake up)

i have small 12 v fan rigged up and blowing on my nfusion,,sure makes a difference with the heat

I always recommend to keep the unit ON at all times. (this helps keep the keys current)
But I have never had a problem with heat...but if heat is an issue...a little fan will help.
You can find a cheap little fan made for PC's that runs on 115volts at ebay...do a search.
See ya this weekend babe, in the mature section. lol

dont worry about it. I leave mine on 24-7 so it will autoroll and it works fine. maybe unplug for lightning or something but I suggest "on".
