Ahhhh, I don't recall hearing about this yet. Perhaps I skimmed their ads too

I would guess most. <G> Not a bad move, especially if they are getting as much
as they're asking. I'm planning to let things settle down a bit for now, my
PAR suits my needs just fine for now, as I have some decent frame-by-frame
sources if I need "broadcast quality" in the true (?) sense of the phrase.
Besides, it sounds like some ex-PAR users are mourning the loss of some of the
PAR's features on their shiny new PVR's.
