This is my first post so I hope that I am in the correct area. Yesterday I had the Thompson/RCA mfg -100 installed. I was a little concerned when I saw this unit
because I was looking for a silver -700. After about 10 hours of operation the unit was not even warm to the touch and the fan/hard drive noise was too low to hear from more than a foot away. The feet may be a little higher and there are no vents on top of the unit. Channel changing did not appear to be much slower than my old Samsung HD receiver. The -100 made in Mexico on 2/22/07. Maybe some of the earlier HR problems have been resolved.
