I picked up a Bush branded wifi music streamer and internet radio receiver in a discount supermarket because of its very attractive price (and because I figured that I could always make use of the components if I got bored of the radio itself) but after about 3 months of daily service in my kitchen is still doing its duty in a simple and reliable way; so much so that I still did'nt see the need for tearing it apart nor tring to hack a touch screen, a SDDmemory with a light linux OS, and maybe MS voice comm, into its chinese innards (an idea I had since day one I brought this thing home). As for Blue Ray , who needs it? Upscaling technology has rendered this doubious technology totally redoundant, the high cost of discs makes it totally stupid,and if you really want to see the difference (basically unexistent) between upscaled DVDs and so called full HD , you can always stream HD content via PC, or provider's box, or choose from a variety of memory supports or streaming options. This technology is born obsolete.
It is incredibly easy to tell the difference between upscaled content and HD on the sorts of TVs that consumers are buying - namely > 32 inch, 1080p sets. Of course the simpler way to show the difference is to have two sets playing SD & HD content side by side. I can well imagine that some people wouldn't have a clue what the difference was until they could see it for themselves. Fortunately stores seem to have worked this out for themselves.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
The sad fact of the matter is 'Bush = the cheapest lowest garbage brand' out there.
Chav-tastic consumer electronics.

If you can't tell the difference between upscaled DVD and HD you need professionel help.
You decide if it is the eyes you need to have checked out or or if it is your TV !
