Pro: + Good picture quality (only surpassed by the internal DVB-C tuner of the Sony BRAVIA) + Fast switching times + Good electronic program magazine + Good operability, tuning, sorting etc. + Good expandability through CI modules
Cons: - The given price a HDMI connector should now simply be compulsory - Something big housing in getting used to design (OK ... is a matter of taste ;-)
Conclusion: If you want to do without HDMI, a very good choice.
