I heard a rumour that someone was starting a rumour about these boxes being recalled.

Could just be a rumour...especially since I also heard a rumour that they weren't actually released as yet.

**ding70** · #5 (**permalink**) 05-01-2003

lol

bit like the rumor of the symbol rates

**T24** · #6 (**permalink**) 05-01-2003

Disadvantage> no embedded cam.

K1 · #7 (**permalink**) 05-01-2003

T24 - theres no embeeded irdeto in other competing brands of PVR box either is there ? and they cost more ?
So I am not quite sure I understand what u mean .. like it's a disadvantage comapred to what ?
