    HDMI splitters and switches

    I'm in the same position (although I do own the Oppo) due to the number of devices I have. (Cable box, Blu-ray, HD DVD, Media player and X-box). I use mono price switches and haven't had any issues with them. These don't split the signal, but will allow you to switch between inputs

    Oppo bdp-83 and canadian retailers

    I purchased my Oppo as I didn't want to wait until the resellers had them available, nut it did cost more in shipping as a result.

    Re Oppo's new BluRay player and 720p TVs

In my case I will eventually upgrade to a 1080p projector so it made sense for me in the long run. In the short run the ability to play almost any format or disk...
