I would be biased to say "Worked for me" LMAO

am not hooked up to dishes to check...

will be hooking up tomorrow and report back...:chicken:

[NOKIA™]

well...

finally i hooked up my friggin dishes...:mad:

seems like the heat shield removal has reduced the heat accumulation...

not by much ... but its noticeable...

IMO that might reduce the risk of opening the cold solder points

[Mr.Hyde]

with the work and result rate the removal on a scale of 10

[NOKIA™]

i would give it a 7

I noticed a big difference ,I read about the shield removal before I got the receiver and after I set it up I left it on overnight then felt the top of box . After removal I again left in on overnight and it was running much cooler. :coolup:

Just in case some of you do not know, there are a couple of things that you can do to help reduce the effect of heat in your nfusion box.

1) the biggest and most important thing to notice is that when you receive your nfusion box new, the front panel is not the only place that the protective peel-off "skin" is applied. There is also a transparent film on the whole cover of the box that is a pain to peel off. It's a pain, but it's a good thing to do because it allows heat exchange from the box much better. With the film on, the film acts like a sort of "blanket".

2) There's a piece of plastic inside the receiver next to the power supply that serves to direct heat inward instead of letting it radiate out and away from the box.

After opening up the box, You first remove the screw from the motherboard as it appears from the layout of the plastic sheild that the screw goes through a hole in the shield. See the photos. Then you basically get a good set of pliers, get a nice firm grip on the plastic, and pull firmly but in a controlled fashion, and the card will come out.

put the screw back in and close up the box, and you're good to go.

Hopefully these two tricks will help keep the heat generated form this box to a minimum. it seems to run a little warmer than most boxes and i think the reason for that is there is not a lot of empty space inside compared to most FTA boxes.
