Wow, you're right, I went back and checked my initial post. I wasn't
trying to hide anything, though. That info was written right on the box,
IIRC.

I am still very pleased with this machine. Its receiver is right up
there with the LG in terms of performance. Actually, in one example I
see now, not quite as good. I guess it's possible for different receiver
designs to be better or not as good in specific cases.

One more "glowing" thing I wanted to mention. This receiver demonstrated
to me that indeed earlier ATSC receivers were not as good in the far
field as they should have been. Just like Sinclair speculated. This
unit, and the LG, manage solid reception of a station that was
previously almost always marginal. Baltimore NBC11, on actual DTV
channel 59, was unwatachable with all the macroblocking and freezing on
the Accurian. Yet it is reliable and solid with this and with the LG
(but you do need the outdoor antenna). Over time, this has been the
case.
