Actually we have been getting alot of calls about the Scientific Atlantic boxes not being compatible with HDMI even though they have the outputs. The motorola boxes are far superior imo to sa boxes. If you want a box with HDMI, request a motorola 6416 hD/DVR box, its the newest box we offer, and it actually has a bigger harddrive than the 6412 (160gig, as opposed to the 120 gig in the 6412). IF you get a 6412 box, make sure its a series 3 box (it says on the front) they are the only ones that have the HDMI outputs on them, all the 6416 boxes have them though.

I’m on my 2nd SA box in the past couple month. There was supposedly a firmware update in mid November that was going to fix the HDMI problem, but I still can’t get my HD channels to display properly.

I’ve read a lot of bad things about the 8300 series and 8455 DVR also. Scientific Atlanta just makes poor receivers.
