Thank you for purchasing/acquiring said Theatre-550... Thus forcing them to bring out the next big thing... I had been holding out for their next-gen, and now it seems to be here. :)

The next Theater chip is likely to be compatible with All-In-Wonder boards. Expect some major software changes to occur as well.

I feel stupid saying it, but I'm in love with the latest MMC.

Aside from it's bugginess at times I'm finding it damned good & user friendly with some kewl arsed features. :)

Well I'm not a fan of it forcing time-shifting on you. No need to occupy the hard-drive if you don't need to. It also causes my computer to reset spontaneously while watching TV, and I have no idea why (some sort of power issue maybe?). After going to a previous version of MMC, all was well.

Software changes would be very welcome. Thanks for the news, Dave.

Hmm. Label aide, I'm thinking there's a ruby under there, not a sapphire! :cool:

I must be stupid or something, but what is the big difference between the 550 & 650 so far?

Basically, higher quality encoding capabilities, SECAM support and probably something else that won't at all be useful in a stand alone board, by the looks of things.

But might shut up the "why don't they put the newest theatre chip on AIW" whiners? :smile: Can't think of why else they'd put something on there that isn't all that useful on a stand-alone board. . .

Digital too. ATSC or DVB-T.

Dual Tuner support?

If I recall reading the article from Anandtech correctly, I don't believe so.
