Hi

I have been happy with the Hotchip 4000 I got from JB HiFi. Now selling for $299.

Channel changing can be a bit slower than I would like but overall a good Buy.

I have been happy with the Teac... like many boxes upconverting from SD to HD can cause some artifacts though, but great PQ via VGA and DVI for HD. There is the AUSID but this doesn't have DVI or VGA, but apparantly gives excellent PQ nonetheless. The Humax gets good reports as do Topfield boxes, just don't get Panasonic (pornosonic makes you go blind ) or the DODGYTEC (DGTEC), it's a footy

Bad matssys. Back to whichever hole you crawled out of.

Yup the Sheriff's in town

got one of the legends from the link provided the other day... it performs well against my teac b800... good buy....

was trying to help someone out - but get dumped on instead
.........now crawling back into my hole!

No doubt but also conveniently helping yourself (or your business) at the same time. At the very least if you declare it clearly in the post people would be less likely to complain.

how about this HD box for $250 !

This box looks OK... only has no DVI. Made in Korea. And cheaper than the Hotchip 4000.

Anyone tested yet? Please post your experience with it.

only just released .. may need to wait a bit before anyone can write a decent review
