Well, I can get Avia II for $40 with free shipping on amazon.ca, so I'll
probably just spring for it. Buying the replacement filters would
probably cost close to that much when you include the shipping,
exchange, and border fees.

Hrm. That's too bad. Does anyone else following this thread have any
experience here? For me, the biggest problem currently is the
calibration on the pvr500 -- I had to tweak the recording settings a lot
on that to get the recordings looking decent, and they still could be
better.

The feedback delay on making adjustments and waiting for them to show up
in the recorded stream while watching the DVD in "Live TV" mode seems
like it would be a problem.
