Possibly better Reon implementation at the board.
Just so I understand, in short this colorspace issue is that when it upscales SD content to HD, it retains the SD colorspace rather than converting the picture to the HD colorspace?

I think that's right. Then the display, sensing an HD signal, tries to use an HD colorspace to decode, resulting in errors.
As for Russian Roulette, several of the 805 owners who initially bricked their units were eventually able to get out of it by reverting back to their original firmware. So, it's hard to say what the overall risk is. But you're right, it is risky.
As for the Reon implementation, all of this discussion is contingent on no hardware change. Otherwise, all bets are off.















I figured some would get a laugh with that last statement)
