Ronnie:

I don't have a problem with your being critical. The tone might be a touch abrasive, but that's fine. I think that if we were all having face to face discussions some of this would be flowing a lot better.

I was vacillating on whether or not I should keep my 861v4 -- and it's only since CES, when things became quite a bit less nebulous about the future of M's processing chain that I finally got off the fence.

As far as George's speculation on why the HD621 is taking so long to see the light of day, do you really think M is going to comment on the issue if we accept (for the moment) that one of the more significant delays has been an issue with breaking HDCP and reasserting a different encryption protocol for downstream processing. That would make quite a bit of sense though -- given how particular they (HDMI LLC) have been about maintaining encryption via protected audio paths.
