I heard from a "certain" dealer rep this week, he assures me that they are currently QC'ing the product and it should be available right on schedule....
I don't know if "right on schedule" means January or May!

I have three jobs that I've spec'd in XP8's for. One for a restaurant that opens next Friday. I'm going to have to put two RP6's in and swap them out when the XP8 gets released.

We've had one spec'd into a job for several months... The job is coming up pretty soon, and the XP8 may come in just in time. If not I'm going to put two RP6 units in temporarily.

Glad I have not specked one into a job yet... I once heard that you can tell which ones are the pioneers by the arrows in their backs. Why would you spec something before its initial installer-banging-head-against-wall-trying-to-make-the-little-F#@ker-work period? Hasn't Windows taught you anything?

Just out of curiosity, what are two RP6's going to do that one can't? Unless you are controlling more than 6 identical components, you should be able to make due with one.

Just out of curiosity, what are two RP6's going to do
that one can't? Unless you are controlling more than
6 identical components, you should be able to make due
with one. That depends on several things, such as how many rs 232 devices are you controlling. Do you need to port address several sat or cable boxes? Further, things happen faster & more efficiently if you are addressing system macros on multiple RP-6 modules Most of my big jobs have 3 to 5 Rp-6 modules in the main rack, why? Well for instance I have a customer with 11 plasma TV's 9 sat boxes dual XM radio, Xperinet server and clients, 16 zone A/V switcher, a 16 camera matrix switcher. RS232 thermostats, lighting control, motorized blinds and so forth, I also usually have 3 - 5 CB4 connecting blocks On the flip side, if it is just a basic theater, then 1 RP-6 is plenty
