    Thanks
    I don't think so. The Flea uses the REON processor which is also used in some receivers that cost less but I'm not sure if the recievers are using any of the NR cpabilities of the chip.

    But considering that these cost way more than a Vudu, yeah, I think we should start a sympathy fund for the rest of us.



    I'm amazed at how much money people put into their system. I thought I was spending a lot on my Denon receiver last fall at $1299 (OK, so I got the BestBuy Magnolia guy to give it to me for $999 but that's beside the point! ). I know that's really mid-level when it comes to higher end receivers, but his HDMI flea cost as much as my entire receiver. Guess you gotta really like video!
    The Flea does more than reduce mosquito noise. My plan was to sell the Flea when I got the VP50pro. Then I realized it doesn't have the noise reduction feature of the Flea. the Flea does absolute wonders with broadcast TV and really cleans things up. I also didn't pay retail price for those items either. My VP50 pro was a trade up from a VP50 which was a trade up from a VP30 which was a trade up from an iscan Hd+ which was a trade up from an iscan Hd which was paid for with my sale from my Holo3Dgraph2 scaler which was paid for with the sale of my Holo3Dgraph 1 scaler.
    wow! I've gone through way too many scales the last 6 years.

    Anyway the combination of the Flea and VP50 pro works very well with SD content especially broadcast. with Bd/Hd DVD I only use the VP50pro. Hopefully when I get home tonight my VUDU will have the Bourne movies on it so I can compare them to the HD DVD versions and also check out the 5.1 sound

    I'm sure some people are more able to notice the small improvement but most would not. Also, some want the "best" (hence the Vudu XL) and just pay to get it. I used to have a Faroudja scaler that cost something like $25,000 going into a projector that cost another $25,000. Then a few years later, I replaced the projector with one that was smaller, lighter, brighter and cheaper ($2,500) and just threw away (I'm not kidding) the Faroudja. I didn't miss it. Now, I went with the 65" LCD and the Denon 3808CI and am happier than ever.

    BTW, the whole Faroudja thing was because the company that built my system recommended it, not because I asked for it. That alone shows you that Vudu can sell some XLs to people like my former self that just let someone else spec and build their "dream" system.

    Sure.

    P.S. Vudu gift certificates would be a cool idea.

    I think someone from Vudu needs to step-up and let AaronWT have $99 Vudu bucks, especially in the light of recent price drop and him getting two units. He'll probably be much better evangelist than the eBay seller anyway.

    The reason I ask is the seller mentioned that he was supposed to get those VUDU bucks when he activated his account, which he never created.
    If I can get those VUDU bucks then I will definitely keep the second VUDU. Although I won't get it until Tuesday at the earliest so I guess i should concentrate on the VUDU I bought fromTweeter first before worrying about the one from Ebay.

    Definitely sounds like an evangelist dropout who doesn't have a clue how the program works. I'm sorry there's no easy way for us to prevent those auctions with false information.

    I don't think so. I would imagine that this guy who was selling his might have been an evangelist flunky. He would have gotten his box for $99 with $99 in movie credits. Those credits were only given to the evangelists and it was fairly tightly controlled.
