Relook 400s or ...

[Tarzan]

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a new Relook 400s but before that I wanted if anybody can me with answering the following questions

I want to know if the Relook is capable of doing the following

1 Can it be used as a media center to play stuff directly from the PC, like mp3's, movies etc ?
2) Does it have Decent tuner ?
3) Ability to read Sly UK subscription card. ?
4) Ablilty to view 4:2:x feeds ?
5) Blind scan feature?
6) HDTV or to be able to upgraded to HD using add-on cards if possible

Or is it worth waiting for a HDTV version of the receiver?

thanks...

looks like I will have to wait for a while and see which receiver comes out with most of the above requirements.

Or do you know of any other receiver which does most of the above

Any news on when the HDTV receivers will be out?

[surfarn]

in mid 2007 latest I heard. I didnt want to wait so long so I bought my self a 400S.

[Tarzan]

thanks.. is it really worth investing in the 400S for the time being?

Especially the reading for sly subscription cards...

Relook 400 with Highland 2.11 and gbox =no problem with nds cards

No chance or HD with the 400 processor and the appropriate FW/SW [Emu]?

Should it not be possible, in theory?:confused:

Also, with films, not just mp3's?

The 510 has been scrapped and will not be produced.
