Odd that you had channels dropping due to heat. I would expect the unit would shut down if it hit such a point long before something detrimental occurs.

For the price the ADA1500 is fantastic, but if i have any longer term issues or recurring ones, i'll be looking for another brand. The last got sent back last week.

On a related note, i was reading a thread in the CanuckAM forums the other day and someone was complaining about getting not great service (no communications) from Bryston.
