I think this has been asked, but dont quite understand the answers... do you think that the new controller will be sold as a stand alone to work with my existing SB3? For me, that would be the best combination since I like the SB3 display but think the graphic controller would be a great addition. But I would rather not pay for the receiver since in effect I already own one (and just bought it last week!) larry -- lreinstein ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lreinstein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14644 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
