P3D Yes, the Digital 8 works fine with Nu-View

Thanks to Oliver's posting I returned the TRV66 
and got the TRV103. It works fine. Good stereo 
video and very sharp digital quality. 
Can't explain why it didn't work the fist time. 
Sorry if I alarmed anyone who planned to go digital. 

Here is part of why I thought it didn't work. 
I sent an e-mail to the Nu-View folks and got this
response:

>the field.

So when I first got poor results I quickly returned it. 
Should have given it a more careful test. Like the e-mail 
said, they didn't test it themselves. Could it be that the 
"report from the field" was the quote at Christoph's web site, 
which was something someone else reported to him? Interesting 
how false information, like rumors, can propagate.

What makes it even better is that after all the returns 
I ended up spending about $100 less for the camcorder! 
Weird. Alls well that ends well. 

Bottom line. Go for it. Digital and the Nu-View means 
clearer 3-D! 

Harold
