I've had 2. I have paid for a 3 year cover on it from HMV though, the last one lasted 2 years, but had a lot more use. I have barely used this one. My old 1 got the RROD and I fixed it by taking it apart. It worked for a few weeks, but then completely dies, dispite trying to fix it again. I think the problem with my last one was that we kept it on top of the sky box, which is constantly hot. It's the eat that kills them.
