ss - that's not an entirely unreasonable perspective.

however, assuming they're not taking away any existing 568 functionality, the 568 is still going to have to do most of those other things you mentioned (it already does). so the only argument here is that "there might not be enough processing capacity to upsample all the channels" in addition to the stuff it does today.

if so, then "i thought that was a big part of the whole point of the upgrade - to get the processing capabilities bumped up appropriately" is a reasonable gripe. they have apparently decided NOT to accomplish such a goal.

it really smells like a scam to me to get people to start buying their DVD players (more fuel to the fire that they can't sell 5XX DVD players on their own merits?).

**** Meridian: If you're reading this, I know I'm not the only one here interested in this issue (for sure). Details are undoubtedly forthcoming from y'all in the form of documents and manuals, but in the interim, some clarification would be appreciated.
