For almost 10 years, we've been using a ChannelPlus 9645 modulator to distribute the video sources from our living room to the rest of our house. A few months ago, the modulator started adding a "hum" (of varying volume and sound pattern) to all its outputs. A few weeks ago the issue escalated with addition of a scrolling picture distortion. Last night, a potential 3rd symptom showed up; a secondary TV lost all video and audio for 1/2 a second to 5 seconds a couple dozen times over a 2 hour period. (This one hasn't yet been isolated to the modulator, but it seems the likely culprit given the other issues).
Based on this behavior, I think our 5645 is dying, and I haven't been able to find a replacement for sale anywhere.
Can anyone recommend a replacement or upgrade for it? All our TV's will remain SD for the forseeable future, but as our DTivo is also approaching ten years, I would prefer a device that accepts SVideo and HDMI inputs. A 4 "channel" device would be best, but we could get by with 2.
I forgot to verify, but I believe our IR is handled by a separate device.
