I have plenty of technology that is over 5 years old that is going strong.
My first Tivo 80 hours is still running after 3 years.
It's just one of the those things, electronics are sensitive things subject to lots of reasons for failure.
Like others in this thread, I bought a series 1 6 years ago, and it is going strong. After 2 years, I sold it to my BIL, who then sold it to a relative of his, and none of us lost value in it.
My two more recent dtivo units are still going strong, and one has the well-documented over-heating problem. A $10 fan has taken care of that.
I'm sorry you are having problems, and I hope that they get fixed. I imagine that they will, now that you have posted it here.
