No, in fact one of my problems didn't happen until after 200 hours of
use. It was just a specific scenario in the software that happened to
be tickled. Its just like when you PC locks up, you'd think everyone's
PC should be locking up but your scenario is different. Perhaps a
couple sat's came in at just the right (or wrong) strength and the unit
hit a part of the software that was coded wrong.
