At least on the TVS you don't need to void your warranty by opening it up to add the ventilation BMD should have included. On the new atems, studio converter etc you have to void warranty opening them, otherwise they will die an unrepairable death due to excess heat soon after the warranty expires.
I've come to the conclusion you are better off cracking all BMD gear open the day you buy it, and adding fans.
Even the mini converters get really hot.
I wonder how hot grant petty runs the heater in his house.
