My uncle got one without consulting the tech geek and now I am trying to figure out how bad it is, so far I from reading the manual it dose not seem to do up scaling and as I read mixed reviews of firmware issues and stuff I am worried they went and spent 200+ needlessly...not to mention they spent 75$ on a 3 foot HDMI cable....50$ for a brand name(acoustic research)...oy...sheeple annoy me...but more money than bwains sheeple annoy me even more >> They also got a new TV a Panasonic vera 42 inch plasma, I just hope they paid the sale price of 899.....
