I've had my Series 3 OLEDs since 2007 when I paid a pretty penny for them. Since then they are largely done their jobs without a lot of drama, although I did have to replace the caps in one a couple of years ago. A couple of months ago the second one stopped working and while it also had a bad cap, replacing it did not change the situation with the unit. It probably needs a more expertise than I have time to give it.
That leaves the other Series 3 on my aging home theater TV. All was fine except I had been having trouble since last year on Cablecard programming for my HBO subscription. I'd been using HBO GO on my Apple TV and other devices so I hadn't considered it a priority to fix, but when I tried to record the SNL 40 show, I discovered that NBC HD and a number of other channels were not working. I talked to the Comcast tech today and he noted that some of my cablecard settings back at Comcast were screwed up (not sure how that just happened) but then we discussed the HBO problem.
This has probably been discussed here but Comcast no longer supports the old single stream cable cards anymore (I knew they stopped providing them some time ago). Which means they told me they may not even be able to fix the programming situation since the system no longer officially supports it. I've been looking at doing a Roamio upgrade but there wasn't budget for it last year in my household. Things are better now and I'm thinking of pulling the trigger, but I don't like why I have to pull the trigger.
Just venting....getting a new Roamio plus Lifetime won't be cheap, but I think I have to step up to the 21st century sometime.
