Not sure how accurate your observation is, Terry. For example, from what I recall, the FIRST generation Mitsubishi receiver had a proprietary video interface. Also, I'm not sure that Sony has had more than 2 retail models, but their FIRST generation design was a separate box that integrated only with their 34" widescreen. We'd really need model numbers to know what generation they are. If there's no newer model from that vendor, then it's a current model. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tjharvey@xxxxxxx> > Just a note on this: I have visited a few 'local' television showrooms and have seen 1st generation Mitsubishi and Sony STB's for sale in the last few months. What is worse, unless you ask, the STBs are pawned off as 'new'. > > Terry Harvey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
