~$140 USD For the above board versus a semi-newer CN400-based at ~$210
USD or a ~$350 CN700.

So, assuming the OP doesn't have the extra ~$70-$200 to throw around,
that's one reason I can think of especially because there is no
need/desire for HDTV (and waiting until they get other HDTV hardware
makes sense so that todays existing HDTV capable systems will then be
cheap and have their bugs worked out) according to their post.
