I'm in Cali & just woke up to the situation....I Thought there was a big PPS attack or something....Until I started reading. Takes money to make money...simple fact....But a PR to all SH's prior probably should have taken place....Anyway....I believe....This is not an instant gratification play like in 2013....Buy it & put it away, you'll thank yourself within 2-5yrs....My NP-1 works, and works well....& UF streams just as well.....Cheers
