I told you guys it was spam 10 pages ago. When the Koreans post specs and pics of the cool hard drive based media players they get reported and spam canned. I don't see how this is any difference. Aside from the fact that it's creepy.

*shivers*

I think Roberto is trying to be humerous but something is getting lost in translation.

What is creepy is the number of people who profess no interest but who are among the top posters. BTW, I am not including you in that assesment.

My brain popped trying to figure out what this post actually says. Where's the scratching your head smiley?

For all the posts, we keep getting told that the new super duper black magic based smoke and mirrors SRT system that will literally make your clothes fall off is the Spurs engine. Which we all know merely reduces the SRT processing time from 12 hours per hour of video to 3 hours per hour of video. That was demonstrated and confirmed by Toshiba at CES 2008. Other than that, there is nothing new. So basically:

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............... .........

Wake me up when something actually happens, K?

I am still interested in potential SUC cards for my htpc, the current SD upscaling on my machine is rather artificial and i don't really like it. I have seen pictures of a (HUGE) PCI-E card somewhere in this or the other thread (i keep confusing the two), wonder if they will actually produce a consumer product.

Is it true that the new Toshiba model suc my disk better than the other companies models?

I disagree. It is not spam like someone coming here to sell products (usually with nothing to do with video/audio mind you). If this is spam, then everything on this site is spam, as just saying good things about BD, HD DVD, SD DVD, HDTV might just make someone want to buy one such product.

This is for discussion and info and I don't know about others, but I LIKE having more info to make my decisions on possible future purchases.

Will someone answer my question about the Toshiba model?

MikeRox · 07-04-2008, 04:15 AM

Does anyone else have an SUC product atm? This is supposed to be different to standard upscaling you get in any other device currently on the market iDarren.

iDarren · 07-04-2008, 04:27 AM

at your straight answer to my lowbrow humour

Toshiba has already started developing products using the processors, and will sell the chips to other companies for use in their products as well.
