[QUOTE="net1, post: 20315"] A new box from Thomson has just emerged into the light of day, but very little is known about it other than it is called the DTI-500 and appears to be a scaled-down version of the DTI-1000. They are available from Makro, a self-service wholesaler whose products are only available to the trade, and says that it looks similar to the DTI-1000, but only has one SCART socket and an RF loop-through aerial connection (the DTI-1000 has two SCARTs, stereo output and an RGB option). A Thomson spokesman confirmed the existence of the box, but said it was "not considered to be a mainstream Thomson product", since it is the result of a special deal reached between Makro and Thomson. Currently, there are no spec sheets available, He said he was slightly surprised that the box was already available. Thomson has also confirmed that what appears to be the retail equivalent of this Freeview adapter will be launched in due course, called the DTI-550. This will, like the DTI-550, be a slightly scaled-down version of the DTI-1000, but will have a different design. [/QUOTE]
