You also can't find component baluns. I have a system that needs a new set of baluns. Pretty much all manufacturers have discontinued them, or the distys aren't carrying them

Probably that they were all illegal. Adding...lack of demand (because everything is hdmi now anyway) is probably another reason.

To OP: Technically, it is illegal.

www.calrad.com still has one. They note that it will not pass 1080i. That would be the illegal part.

I've used the snap plenty, works fine, no issues. As much as I want to hate them, some of their stuff just works.
I've been yelled at for this, but I still use component some of the time, especially when it's just a cable box being hidden in a closet. It works and it's economical.

Aren't they only illegal if they convert copyrighted content? What else are you using them for? In other news, Bittorrent is used only for the newest Linux distro...

Are they illegal to build and/or sell? Or are they just illegal to buy and/or use? :)
