    The whole point of the eventual MHEG5 EPG is that it's the same on a Walker or a Triax or anything else with MHEG5.

    I had a look at the WP10DTB (um) in the shop, retails for €100. It looked plasticky and cheap but did have the promise of a front usb input (for what? Ans - mp3 and jpeg only).

    So now they have a WP11DTB, looks even more plasticky, loses a scart, loses component AND composite video out, loses onboard power supply, moves the usb to back (out of sight) and keeps same euroshop remote.

    But you get a :pac:€30 promotional discount:rolleyes: bringing it to €89

    Forgive me for being a little cynical but if this was being sold in Aldi it would be slated on here right from the off.
    Considering it is supposed to have the same software as the previous but has less hardware, how could there be any implication it retailed at €20 more. Cynical marketing ploy?

    At least with Aldi/Lidl you'd get a 3 year warranty.
