Conclusion: Although this receiver boastfully has some radical new design changes that mimic the European market like the remote, menus, and duel audio out it still has a way to go to be a top notch MPEG-2 receiver. The Pal to NTSC conversion is the most horrible conversion I have seen so far with pixilation freeze framing and picture popping. There are less expensive receivers on the market that do a comparable job or even a better job of working satellite transponders to convert Pal to NTSC. They are on the correct track and have a little tweaking to go.
