I seem to have a problem i'm sure many people have dealt with. My current NEC LT150 only has VGA, composite, and component(via breakout cable) inputs. running digital audio to my receiver via RCA(another requirement for the bluray player).
Some day we would like to get to HDMI to get with the times but Its looking like a full system overhaul would be needed for that.
My HTPC is not keeping up with frame rates as HD video is starting to come out the processor is maxed most of its life.
We were thinking about getting a stand alone Bluray player that can link up to hulu plus and amazon instant rentals, pandora etc.
I am starting to see that component is getting killed off. Is there a leftover model I should look for?
2010 Pannys dmp-bd65 but no digital audio and I don't really want to buy a new a 20 ft optical cable.
2010 Pannys Dmp-bd85 appears to have the Coaxial audio out but at three times the refurb rate it makes the optical cable seem cheaper
