Someone pointed me to this link today :

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000059YXO/miscdiscs/103-3456818-1365403

Anyone know anymore about it being discontinued ?

Not counting the part where some knob from New Jersey is mouthing off about how he thinks the product is discontinued... where on the page do you see Amazon saying the product is discontinued? I can't find anything about that except as mentioned in the New Jersey guy's personal review.

Maybe the guy from New Jersey was confusing it with the Rio Car?

What about the reply to the e-mail I sent to PCUpgrade?

"Unfortunately this product has been recalled. We will know more soon.

Regards

Steve"

Until I see something specific from a SonicBlue representative, I am going to have to assume that these are unfounded rumors, or the result of people mistaking the Rio Car for the Rio Receiver.

Did you notice Amazon, did not have any in stock, and no expected date ?

Even if its not true, rumours like this, posted to the Amazon page, would I assume put some people off buying the product ?

http://www.sonicblue.com/audio/rio/rio_audiocenter.asp advertises free DAR with purchase through next month. Doesn't sound completely discontinued.
