The Sony A-65A is nearly identical to the hughes GCEBOA - infact the housing, buttons, menus and guides are identical. I had both of them and the only real difference is the Hughes uses more colors in the guide. They both have the TruSurroud, and other little A/V tweaks.. The backs look the same, they both hard and soft boot the same way... So basically, they are the same Save the $$ and get the hughes.
