360 HD Cancelled? - ABA DSS

Snipe3000 · September 4th, 2008

Hi,
I noticed on the sonicview website a statement that reads "we decided not to import the 360 HD". Does that mean the 360 HD will not be released in the US?
If it will be released, is it still coming out at the end of this year?

Thanks.

Maybe the announcement of 1080P HD just outdated all the HD boxes.

I have read the reason is because of the success of the 8000Hd

That would be a bummer I was anticipating the 360 HD

if they brought out the 360 nobody would be buying the 8000 anymore.....so i think they figured, why mess with a good thing?

and the SV800 is such a nice piece of art

The Dual tuner with the HD would have been nice.

I received an email from a sales manager at Sonicview USA that Reads:

It doesn't stop speculation when it says: The Sonicview 8000 HD has exceeding all expectations and is still the best FTA receiver on the market today! Due to this awesome receiver being the best of the best we have decided not to import the 360 hd.
Right on there website.

Lets face it. Sonicview is a kickass product. They are holding back the release of the
360 hd because of the nagra3 encoding system coming out. I wish I had their marketing team on my side. 8000hd rocks as I have both version 1 and 2.
When the 360hd is ready for order, my name is on the list.
