cnx will be joining in for the first time with an hd unit.
sv will be coming with a newer hd unit.
captain is coming out with a real sweetie.mpeg4 HD/pvr/dvd burner/iks and who knows what else lol.nice media center anyway.and with captains prices but still high quality,this ones going to really give ya a run for your money by the sounds of things.
