Mitsubishi Hd-6000 PVR?

Anyone seen this?

Looks like a nice box - not sure if it will only be sold through cable operators, or from retailers.

Seems to have some really nice inputs (VGA/Component/Firewire/HDMI). Should work with Voom (or other satellite service) on either component or HDMI (using a DVI converter).

Also, since all inputs are rescaled to the output resolution, it could make for a nice all-in-one PVR and video switcher.

Looks VERY interesting... I'm thinking about a W-VHS machine but if it's gonna be available soon, at least for pre-oorder... perhaps better to wait...

No digital audio input?

The W-VHS is pretty good for Voom, but I'd wait. It's not very convenient, and it's expensive!

It's a nice box...and expensive too! I'm sure it won't be offered by any cable co. Also, it won't be available 'till November.

It says record anbalog "channels" but I will bet big $s it will not record analog component hidef in. If it does I'm first in line.

Bad News

From press release
"an MPEG SD encoder"

This box will not encode HD from the component or DVI outputs of the Voom STB. It would work if the Voom box had firewire, but of course it doesn't
