It seems according to one supplier that it was due to be released this month but no, Panasonic have pushed its release further away so no e.t.a as yet.
Its a real shame. What to go for instead? - maybe the Humax 9000 ? nope Humax now say that it will be ready later this year or early next.
What about the Fusion? - no optical output for me.
What about the Thompson? - bad reports at the mo about fan noise.
What about the Pace? - enough said - but that said maybe worth a punt if the new software works.
Any other suggestions?
