Quoting:Yes, it can plug into your TV and play Internet video and display browser screens, but it can also process and store recorded video, as well as capture and enhance the video signal with features like scaling and overlay processing. Sounds like Video Toaster capabilities with Lightwave3D built in. And all that for 259 bucks? 1080p resolution? Sounds like an excellent device. |

Whataya wanna bet it gets "banned" for sale in the USA?!?!? They'll claim it violates HDMI specs and sue under HDMI patents... Any takers?!?!? |

Only if it allows streaming HDMI to "non-compliant" devices -- I didn't see anything that addresses that question. |

"Open" by definition addresses that question... |

Quoting:Whataya wanna bet it gets "banned" for sale in the USA?!?!?Unlikely, unless it first gets funded, then produced, then imported and then becomes popular. Without significant popularity it's not a threat to anyone and not worth the cost of the legal efforts to ban it. "It's all about the Benjamins." Oh, and sorry to tell you, there is no Sanity Clause. |

Quoting: Oh, and sorry to tell you, there is no Sanity Clause.There isn't? I am so disillusioned. Do you really have to puncture my cherished illusions so cavalierly? |

It's time to get Ritter the bad jokes. |

Nicely done, Gus. I yield! |
