You can buy a DVD player for under $50 - tomorrow maybe it'll be $10.

That's my main reason that I'm happy there's no DVD playing capability. I have a standalone DVD player (two, actually) in my home theater. I don't need or want this one to have it too.



Slightly off-topic, but.. with my newish MythTV box now 100% functional, the two DVD players (one of them cost C$25 last winter) are now redundant. I still have one of them (a progressive scan) hooked up, but the video output is so inferior to the MythTV box it ain't funny. On an old fashioned analog TV set, the DVD player was better. But on the 37" LCD TV/monitor, well..

Now it's time to find new homes for a pair of DVD players, as well as the huge Pioneer A/V receiver/mixer, and a couple of VCRs.

Cheers
