Analog Tech.
Bruce,
When it comes to the Toaster, I can't help much (believe it or not, I've
never TOUCHED one — I've seen a demo but that's about all). So you'll
have to depend on the other folks here to offer advice… Sorry…
The BVE-9000 is neat. Only problem is the documentation, which was
obviously not written to be read by a human being (or perhaps only by a
Japanese who speaks English as a P-O-O-R second language…).
The other problem is that Sony never completed the 9000-to-Vista interface;
"switcher learn" or anything else that involves the switcher uploading data
to the controller doesn't work. After making a real SOB out of myself I
finally got Sony to work on fixing it (ask me to tell you the story
sometime — it wouldn't fit in the thread). The fix is due RSN.
We're working on a promo with a heavy deadline this week, but I'd like to
take you up on your offer sometime soon. I'll give you a call.
Pete
