A thought:
Replaced my 3000IP with a Technomate 5500DAPCI which is both analogue & digital.
It has has 36V positioner, noticeably more sensitive tuners, a much faster processor (which means it is better with Cams), is easier to drive and does'nt overheat! (The manual is however pretty crap, as usual!)
Also, the remotes are (supposedly) much cheaper to replace! Support is via Myers/Technomate in London, and they might actually be able to repair the machines (although nothing has gone wrong with mine in 18 months).
Same problem with channel list updates - there are'nt any!
Now obsolete but might be available cheaply on Ebay - currently one available for £100 on a buy-it-now basis.
(the 3000IP still sitting in a corner if all else goes wrong!)
