After actually reading this vanila article, it should be noted that the reviewer basically gave this HD device a passing grade based on the playback performance of an sub-SD file. WTF is it that hard to find legal 720p demo files on the net? He has no problem finding TV Rips of Andromeda Strain. This system is all about HD, if you dont actually test HD playback, then the review is a total waste of time.
Based on my horrible experience playing HD .Transport Files (captured from my clear QAM card), I am not convinced that this device will actually play back HD content and not choke. Show me a review that actually tests 720p or 1080i content.
