Do you need the Photobridge HD (HD1500) or is the HD1000 OK? The main<br>difference I see is the HD1500 has 128MB RAM and the HD1000 is 64MB, but not<br>sure if that is much a limitation.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Todd</blockquote>

The HD1000 and HD1500 are the same model except the 1500 comes with
some art packs. The 128 MB your talking about is only
available in the REV B models. I don't think any of the older REV
A models are around anymore anyway. So you should be good to
go. If you are buying in a store then you can look on the bottom
of the box (or unit) where it will say REV B.<br>

And I'm using it as a frontend to Myth. I'm using it to watch HD
on my SD Sony Wega Tv. It downscales 1080i to 480i
beautifully. Hopefully soon I can get a proper HD set.<br>

<br>solution<br><br>I run MythRoku on a Roku Photobridge HD. What is there is easy to install<br>and works great. MythRoku can use some more work but it is the only HiDef<br>solution out there. Right now MythRoku only plays recorded shows and you
