I've had my 8802A since June 18 2019. Purchased an extended warranty which expires June 18 2025.
My timing is not always this good. The power light is out, the 12v triggers no longer send a signal and the HDMI board is on the way out.
The warranty covers 2000. in repairs with 0 deductible. I'll be able to swap my Integra AVP in while the repairs are getting done.
In other news....this just in......last night, the owner of the house I've been renting the last three years, accepted my offer. This will soon be mine, first thing I'll do you ask?? I live at the top of a cul-de-sac and I'm going to run up and down the street naked, screaming, it's mine it's mine.....okay, maybe not that extreme. I'm going to finally be able to put together a bedroom set up.
The lease specified no wall mounted TV's, so that's what has been holding me back. Time to make some changes b*tches

Congrats!
I think I know the feeling (maybe)lol. I've offered to buy the place I'm currently renting a hand full of times (in person) with no success.
I've been living in this house for five years now and haven't made a single modification to it besides keeping it up. The company I work for just secured another multi year contract with our customer. So I called the owner and said look "you have me as a renter for at least this many years can I at least do these mods"? Said mods include paint the garage, take the wallpaper in the living room down and pant and put a mini split in up stairs? And you know what he was totally cool with it (imagine that).
