Malata 996 from nbtelectronics.com (from Canada)
They discontinued the 996 early this year, but it has more features than the new model called the 520.

They are not kits. They are full-fledged DVD Players that so far are the only DVD players with a special chip that does perfect conversion from PAL to NTSC.

It's also a progressive player. It's the best there is currently. It also can independetly scale x and y and can zoom into four pixels.

The downside is that it is made in China. I've had mine almost a year and am very damn happy!


HTPC = Home Theater Personal Computer. You basically build it yourself, a computer, video out card, DVD ROM hacked to play anything then you just feed the signals to your TV and Digital Receiver. Usually only an option for geeks like myself.
