I have the same problem as you. I purchased one board but then they asked me a written proof of the fact that I was an HDMI adopter and cancelled my order afterwards. Laurent

I see they have now updated the official page for, stating purchasers must also be an HDMI adopter. I wouldn't be too concerned, there will (hopefully) be a better option in the future. You had to have a computer connected to the board. There was someone selling a mod though that just allowed you to press a button, but I think that put the total around $350. For that price, I think you would be better off putting that towards a CLD-R7G if the combfilter in your display is that bad.

DigiKey will cancel your order, for either version, if you're not an HDMI adopter which is prohibitively expensive for this purpose. They canceled mine 2x even after phone calls and emails! I have yet to call ADV directly since they're not far from me. Maybe one day. If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, Peter has already moved onto the next toy. EVAL is sooooo last month. The same ADV chip (7842 or 78xx) is in a cheaper box called the Extron DSC-301 HD that is easily attainable. It isn't the bees knees but its good. The same chip is probably better implemented in the Lumagen but at a higher cost of course. On my set up I preferred the C2. Maybe it was because I already had it. My 2015 Sony 4K also is no slouch and between that and the C2 the Extron didn't do anything better than what I already had going IMO. I also have a Denon AVR with a 2D ADV comb filter that does a really great job on LD and sends it out 1080p/24 over HDMI. The interest in the EVAL is that you can output 480i over HDMI and use an external deinterlacer/scaler while having total control over the Comb Filter settings in the ADV chip. Downside it that it needs to be connected to a PC running a terminal software that connects to the board via USB/RS232. All settings are changed via software. Yes there are some work arounds but just more tech to deal with. Not my cup of tea. The C2, however, gives you some control over the comb filter and had 2 deinterlacing chips to choose from. Both outdated, sure but not total crap either. The C2 is really hard to beat but very hard to find one. For real-time decoding of LD on newer (2010+) displays your TV's composite input, C2, Lumagen, DVDO, Faroudja etc are your best options as far as actually finding something beyond a DVD recorder. All of these options have their pros/cons. Lately I'm just watching my movies using the TV's composite input and I'm pretty happy
