His comments imply that the Ziva chip was at fault for not decoding the data correctly or corrupting it in some way then, which means the player should probably avoided?

Certainly the SDI output of my 800 blows away the component, but that's also to do with the fact that DVD was supposed to be filtered at the higher frequencies but the SDI mods got around this and so always looked sharper, particular with test patterns. I suspect Meridian would argue that the Ziva was conforming with this standard and so is perfect...

But with Blu I don't think there is such filtering. All players should output the same image data unless something is going wrong...
