In NYC, if you have digital cable and have enough service, the box is free. It gives you about 8 stations, where the over the air box gives you one (WTC was a big setback)

What chip does the Panasonic DVP CP67S use?

My dad is looking for a relatively inexpensive 5 DVD changer that is progressive. The Panasonic looks perfect, but I was wondering if it uses the Sage from the RP56 or the chip from the RP91?
