[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1095643, member: 176704"] Basically that's what I implied, but you can rarely fully fix h/w "problems" by f/w or s/w fixes - thus, unfortunately, the "problem(s?)" will probably only be "fixable" by "revised" h/w - i.e. a "new" product (thus "SX88 4K..... Version 2", "etc") . Sometimes "similar" problems do get fully fixed by major changes, but are rarely sufficiently ameliorated by minor mods, and often lead to substantial "business problems" and then "total business breakdowns" [I](was made redundant "about" 5x times, and close to that on a number of others, due to issues not unlike the one(s) under discussion here)[/I] :( IMHO, Octagon should now admit that the current 4K version is "flawed", bring out a new and "[B]FULLY FUNCTIONAL[/B]" "Version 2" and then offer to replace existing "Version 1" units [B][I](Free of Charge, of course!)[/I][/B] with the newer one - that would hopefully "pacify" owners of existing "non-functional" "Version 1" units and reassure potential new buyers that Octagon is a reputable and reliable company with which to deal, and that therefore what they then purchase will work as advertised. [I]OTOH. will that actually happen..........?:rolleyes:[/I] [/QUOTE]
