480i/576i
I agree with you, but component is absolutely not an option IMO. I'm sure M's deinterlacing solution is very good (for film at least), but I think there is one significant weakness: It won't perform 3:2 pulldown and output 24p or 48p from a 60i source. Interestingly, the new DVDO VP50 processor will be able to perform 3:2 pulldown on progressive frames, so it could take 480p60 as an input and produce a 1080p48 output. I wonder if the Faroudja 1080P will do the same?

2-channel MRC
Seems like a few people do want this... However, it seems to me that M's focus is elsewhere at the moment.

518 functionality
My exact question was:
Quote
The 518 is still a great product that is used by many on these forums for resolution and dynamic-range enhancement of "non-perfect" [Big Grin] sources. Does Meridian feel there would be any use for this 518-style enhancement functionality in any of the current G or 800 series products. If this functionality already exists, please would they tell us about it?
Unfortunately, I don't think we're any wiser as to what is implemented in the processors and what is or is not configurable.

Finer points of product functionality
IMO, not since the days of the 518 and original DSP loudspeakers have Meridian adequately documented their products.

Installer vs. enthusiast
I'm sure you are right, but it's a little sad (please allow me a bit of sentimentality).
