probably the source code for the firmware contains a section like this:
void config ()
{
if (supoort_cable_monopoly==true)
{
allow_multiple_antennas = 0;
}
else
{
allow_multiple_antennas = 1;
}
if (afraid_of_lawyers==true)
{
enable_black_bar_option = 0;
}
else
{
enable_black_bar_option = 1;
}
if (planned_obselescence == 1)
{
enable_1394_upgarde = 0;
}
else
{
enable_1394_upgrade = 1;
}
}
however the folks at Mits have failed to recoginize the following piece of code that appears nowhere in the firmware, but which rather firmly exists in the mind of many of us here at AVS and doubtlessly at large.
if (!enable_black_bar_option || !enable_1394_upgrade
|| !allow_multiple_antennans)
{
customer_loyalty = 0;
}
