Sony has just issued a press release on 8/8/02 concerning the new Sony SAT-HD200 that replaces the '100' model. Sony says the new units will be available at the end of September. The price will be about $900.00. The only difference that I saw between the HD200 and the old HD100 is the inclusion of the DVI HDTV connector. I have had the HD100 receiver for a little over a year with no problems. I am disapointed in the lack of the availablity of discreet codes for the various output modes (i.e. Video 1, 2, 3 etc.) I am also concerned about what the DirecTV/Dish Network merger and the proposal by the networks/MPA/FCC/Congress to force HDTV signals to be carried only through a protected cable (i.e. DVI, 1394 Firewire...)and blocking the component video cable most systems use including my equipment will mean for me.
