Sure. But still, it's on par with what people are use to from the pre-digital 
era, and non-stuttering, and non-skuppy and all that. It "just works".

If I have to _choose_ between high-end audio with broken video, or traditional
audio and _working_ video playback, I sure know where my vote is.

But of course, if I can have it all, so much the better! How far off is HD 
video playback on the RS690, anyway?

I'll pull the latest stuff and setup the test.
