My uncle bought two of these boxes. My wife said he gave $500 for each of them, but I don't know if that is correct. He asked me about it them before he bought them, and I explained I didn't really know much about them because they are illegal and I don't want to know more about them. But he still bought them and told me, "oh, the guy said they aren't illegal at all". People will take the word of someone selling crap out of a backpack if it justifies what they want and ignore professionals in the CE industry. What really made me laugh was the HDMI to component adapter the guy also sold him his pioneer rear projection tv.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more moves from to shut these down.
