My Pioneer failed because I was a dumbass... I had the Dish receiver in the basement and the TV in my 2nd story bedroom. I hung the HDMI cable out the window with a wire for IR. With plans in making a better set up... Well winter hit and over time at work and what not. Never got around to it then those storms hit. Despite having a surge protector on the Dish receiver and TV, the static from the lightning still found it's way through the HDMI cable hanging out the window, DUH!
