I've had them for a few weeks now (with the "Coming Soon" data page). I got prompted to re-scan last night, still the same. BBC News HD came on this morning and BBC 3 HD and BBC 4 HD now show a different page today, suggesting they'll be on when programming starts this evening. I am on a...

Hi, Is it the mechanism? If so, these are really cheap. I have one as a spare in case mine ever goes. I think it's a Philips CDM12.1 or something, it cost me about £15. My KI still sees off most things, it's definitely worth fixing (although as I think has been posted, you may be able to...

Hi, Still loving the amp and it doesn't sound as good as my Audiolab when I swap it to drive the fronts, which is good news! Pure Direct is the way forward, however. The difference between it being on and off is huge. Given this amp predecessors have been favoured highly over the years, why...

Hi Dan, Thanks for that. I've keep experimenting to see if I can work out why. It's not the end of the world, both modes sound fantastic, just "different". As an aside...I am assuming my Audiolab 8000LX is a "better" amp for the fronts than the Yamaha? I daren't try it! Ben

HI, Ok, I have one now! ;-) After spending a weekend with it, I can say it's nothing short of fantastic. I cannot compare it to anything other than my old Yamaha Processor, but things have certainly come on! It's feature rich, setup was a breeze, it can handle both my TV and projector and...

Hi Daniel, Thanks. Can't decide whether or not to take the plunge and just risk it! Ben

Hi Daniel/Andy, Did you get chance to have a good listen to it? Could you recommend it over the RX-A1020? Cheers, Ben

Nice one, thanks. I noticed you have some in stock - let me know your thoughts! Cheers, Ben

Hi Daniel,[/b] Ah, excellent. I just need to know where to look then. What's it like? Have you neen able to compare it to the A1020 at all? Cheers, Ben

Fab! Thanks for letting me know. Fingers crossed the ESS DACs have made them even better! Cheers, Ben

Ah, interesting, thanks!

Hi bigboss, Yeah, I saw that too. It must be next week then. I was just seeing if anyone had heard of there being a delay as it's been suspiciously quiet since that post a month ago. Ben

HI, It's finally time to replace my aged (but still going strong!) Yamaha DSP E-800 processor with something that can handle HDMI and HD Audio. The Yamaha RX-A1020 is the obvious choice, except the A1030 is about to come out which sports new ESS DACs. It's meant to be out now, some places...
