From a press release September 9, 2004:


[I can't find any release info on the 164 series or 165 series... anyone know anything about these?]


The RCA Scenium standard DLP HDTV Sets feature built-in ATSC and QAM cable reception with Digital Cable Ready security interface, Hi-Pix Picture System, and an extensive package of secure digital interfaces including HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) with HDCP copy protection which adds digital audio to the digital video to provide an uncompressed digital audio/video input on a convenient single cable. The convenient connection replaces the DVI-HDTV video and separate audio connections on set-top devices via an adapter cable.


The standard-depth RCA Scenium DLP models include:


· 61-inch HD61LPW162 (suggested retail price $3,999)

· 50-inch HD50LPW162 (suggested retail price $3,399)

· 61-inch HD61LPW163 (suggested retail price $4,299)

· 61-inch HD61LPW 164 (suggested retail price $4,399)

· 50-inch HD50LPW164 (suggested retail price $3,999)

· 61-inch HD61LPW165 (suggested retail price $4,599)

· 50-inch HD50LPW165 (suggested retail price $3,899)

· 44-inch HD44LPW165 (suggested retail price $3,599)


The 165 Series – HD61LPW165, HD50LPW165, HD44LPW165 -- features the TV Guide On Screen electronic program guide for easy access to both digital and analog channels and one-touch recording of favorite programs to send HDTV signals to Digital Video Recorders and analog TV signals to VCRs or DVD recorders.

I tried emailing them about the 44" 165 and got zero respose. My guess is that since the 162's are barely trickling out now, it won't be until next year.
