Well, its not perfect.  As I've mentioned before there is a 
'ghosting' effect in the SHR mode between colors. Look close at the 
black text in the menu bar on the finder pictures and you'll see 
what I mean.  Note also the light vertical lines at each end of the 
color blocks in the color menu.
They're is also a 'trailing' smear when you move the mouse curser 
fast.
Still its very usable and well worth the cost of the cable.

It is my understanding that they can legally be sold if it is 
clearly stated that they don't support digital TV signals so there 
may be some still out there.

The PIP is really nice when using ADT, etc, for transferring files.
