I use it EVERY day about 2-3 hours, never any worries, pad, connectors, fuse, nothing to say.
The power as read so many times, is ample for BR in optics, and a normal house, the box is certe bulky, but not visible to me.
I put a notice that now, for having changed my whole theater system, player, freebox and 3d tv, I can finally take advantage of all its power.
One regret perhaps, but in 2014, a coaxial, which is becoming increasingly scarce, and optical (so no HDMI) is a bit short.
Fortunately, a dispatcher bought on amazon for 5 works perfectly, to have several optical inputs on the pad.
In short, for the price / power / reliability is 5/5, really ...
