Awesome! Makes me feel better for whenever, or if, I ever have a problem with my 976. Curious, are you using any of the HDMI control settings? I'm always hesitant to use them myself, as it keeps the 976 power circuits energized and thus, always generating heat from the regulators. I want my 976 staying cool when I'm not using it. I don't use any apps from my TV so I don't need them turned on anyway.
