I know, it's been far too long of a wait for Sci-Fi in HD.

According to the onkyopro website, it doesn't do any decoding on board, rather it bitstream DD Plus, TrueHD, DTS-MA via HDMI.

And squiggleslash, it really doesn't matter what is decoding the audio, the player or the receiver. If the player decodes, it will output a LPCM stream (up to 7.1) via HDMI which the receiver will see, and understand perfectly fine. (The PS3 decodes and outputs this way) The only downside is no pretty DTS MA light will light up on the receiver, and it will say LPCM 7.1/5/1 or something similar. But you still get the full sound out of it.

@Glen,

If you don't mind me asking, what components did you use for your $350 HTPC? I'm looking to put together a low cost HTPC and would appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks!

Would it now be possible to swtich to a SERO plan and get Sprint to pay my ETF over at AT&T? If they are that desperate for new customers, that's one thing that they could think about doing.

I've installed SP3 and I'm getting slightly faster boot times with it now, and a handful of apps are opening slightly faster. Nothing too go crazy over.

For TNT HD and TBS HD it has a footnote stating: The HD% for this network is currently disputed by WhereIsHD.com users.

So better than before

Come on Cablevision, give me Sci-Fi HD already

Can you give more information on the 89.99 plan and how that is different from the 99 plan?

Also, what do you mean by blackberries will continue to have a premium?

Thanks!

according to the Sprint Everything page, it includes Blackberry services. "E-mail includes use of ActiveSync, Direct Push, VersaMail, or BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)."

And it does not include thethering: "Services are not available for use as a modem, in connection with server devices or host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitute for frame relay connections."

Why is that I can find a free copy of newly aired tv shows, in higher quality than what cablevision airs?
