The HD1000 and HD1500 are the same model except the 1500 comes with some art packs. The 128 MB your talking about is only available in the REV B models.

If you are buying in a store then you can look on the bottom of the box (or unit) where it will say REV B.
And I'm using it as a frontend to Myth. I'm using it to watch HD on my SD Sony Wega Tv. It downscales 1080i to 480i beautifully. Hopefully soon I can get a proper HD set.
Do you need the Photobridge HD (HD1500) or is the HD1000 OK? The main
difference I see is the HD1500 has 128MB RAM and the HD1000 is 64MB, but not
sure if that is much a limitation.
Thanks,
Todd

I run MythRoku on a Roku Photobridge HD. What is there is easy to install
and works great. MythRoku can use some more work but it is the only HiDef
solution out there. Right now MythRoku only plays recorded shows and you
can pause live TV. You will need a front end on another machine to schedule
recordings and you can not rewind or FF live TV. This will come with Time
and more people working on the port.
I will say this I implemented MythTV because of the Roku. I did not want
the noisy box in my media room.

Do you know what mpeg2 decoder chip they use? I didn't see the info at the
site.
