John,
I didn't know the RCA was built by Hughes. This seems strange since Hughes doesn't have their HighDef DSS yet! Actually, Hughes is the one I'm waiting for.... or maybe the Sony. I'm afraid the Mits will be too expensive. On the other hand, you can't beat the price of the RCA (too bad it looks sort of weird). As you can see I'm still on the fence as to which way to go.
