Cable Guy!
I have digital cable through Time Warner cable, which means I have a Scientific Atlantic box. Last night I was changing channels rapidly up in the HD range and the box just locked up. It sat there for 30 seconds or so then powered off. After 5 seconds it came back on for another 10 seconds or so. Then it powered off. After that I couldn't get it to power on at all. It was bricked. How mysterious! Is rapid changing of HD channels outside of the valid use cases? Is it all just a big coincidence? I may never know.
