Just found this tidbit earlier from the end of December.... Might explain the lack of news on the RCA side lately. Does anyone know if Audiovox has picked a side?

Sorry if this is old news. A quick search for Audiovox turned up nothing.

Well that sure explains why there isn't going to be a G2 RCA HD DVD player.

Clarification,

RCA Accessories was sold in Dec'06 for $50 million to

Audiovox. Accessories would be items like blank video

tape, cables, rabit ears, etc.


This did not include RCA TV's, which was taken over by

TCL in 2004, a company based in China. TCL became the world's largest maker of TV, 18 Millon per year, 6 million more than it's closest competitor.

However, it also specifies the "rights to the RCA name". How can it sell those rights if it still retains them? Sounds like RCA may now be part of Audiovox (which is fine with me given the quality way they've supported the HDV5000).
