Wow, wish I'd seen that before I bought :-( Much cheaper.... Mine is fitted in a black Accent HT-400 case (fits nicely in with my Yamaha amp :-) ). The perspex window in these cases has nothing behind it and the VFD fits there. There is a small amount of space to one side where I mounted my IR receiver diode for the remote. To be honest I don't really use the VFD much. The unit sits under the TV in a cabinet and the two-line display is a bit far away to really be much use. Or maybe I'm just old with failing eyesight... Actually, to be a complete replacement for the VCR I really need a double height VFD displaying the time :-) -- Neil Milne _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
