About time too, that thing was rubbish. The price points seem a bit high for these receivers though and I note that the 94TXH is still in the line-up though it's in the middle now rather than the top. Aside from the remote and exterior cosmetics, I'm finding it hard to justify their price points. Hopefully a review in the near future will determine if they have done something to the amp section to garner the price increase.

Yeah, thats the new IcePower amp unit...

And I agree with the remote comments, I ditched mine as well... converted everything over to the Pronto 9600, and what an upgrade that was...
