I had both ET8000 + 10000 and transcoding aside (which I never used), although the ET8000 is a great, solid as a rock receiver, the ET8500 is (in my view) a much better designed receiver, with slide in HDD, great useable Lcd, upto 4 tuners with very easy access to the internals and multiboot (which for me) is a great undersold feature providing at minimum a backup image if "someone" screws up the latest greatest versionIm really tempted to sell my et8000 and buy 1 of these.
Most important question for me is does it support transcoding?
Because ive started traveling alot and transcoding could be useful to me....or a slingbox.
Edit: Sorry im at work and only glanced over the thread, just seen the post that says it doesnt have hardware transcoding.
Still a very nice looking receiver though with an impressive LCD display.
