Sharp's AQUIOS (sp?) line are also including Freeview|HD tuners now, so
I suspect well see every player eventually do it.

Personally, for "out of the box" experience, integrated tuners are full
of win. I don't quite understand why there's so much negative opinion of
integrated tuners when they're no different than an STB, and you don't
lose the option of getting an STB down the line.

Myth seems to do an okay job on upscaling DVB-S (and DVD) content for
me, but it's fighting a losing battle there :)
