Personally I'll be looking at the Ultraplus 700 HDMI unit for $140 when I buy another sat box for this years F1 season as I need HDMI out but don't need any HD decoding.

I can recommend the Ultraplus 700HDMI.

Been using one for over a week with no issues. The HDMI connection is an improvement over Component for image quality and I feel I am getting the best possible image quality I can from SD satellite now.

I'm not worried about not having upscaling from the satellite receiver as the LCD will do that anyhow.

It's running with a 500GB USB drive and recording a program couldn't be easier.

For the $140 it's an absolute bargain.

Yes it's the one I will be getting soon too. I have now need for HD on satellite at the moment as nothing I really want to watch is in HD that I can receive. SBS HD is the only one I know of locally, unless you're looking for a unit that can take a valid SKY card, which I'm not.

As you say, the TV willl upscale anyway, I just need hdmi to go to my receiver as I only ran one hdmi cable to the TV and my receiver can't upscale analogue to hdmi.

For that price I can't see why you'd opt to go with any other unit personally. But hey, I haven't got one yet so can't say just for sure!

Triangle TV is now selling them so they can't be too bad.

They are running periodic advertisements on Triangle TV saying you can come visit their premises and buy one for $135, like they did with the advertisements for the Globo satellite boxes.
