Second that -- I'm guessing the front panel drops down or pulls out for the disk-load. And it's semi-transparent to show the front-display.

This is definitely something you'd buy for looks, not for features. I used to own a Loewe TV back in the 90s that was gorgeous. Best feature was that the tiny remote control could be stored in the front of the unit.

Loewe is the Apple of the German AV industry: They don't really invent anything new, or pack the most features, and their stuff is expensive... but boy, do they look good doing it.

Well, I must strongly disagree. They are more like the Lamborghini of the AV industry: the stuff they make looks perfect, and under the hood it's even better. Their TVs have an architecture more akin to a PC than a TV set: they use modular plug-in cards and each TV set is always built for a specific customer, with the features he chooses (internal DVR, internet access, satelite/terrestial/cable digital twin and single tuners). Even after the initial purchase you can decide that you want to add some features and what you do is simply go to the shop and say that you want an additional feature installed - and a technician arrives with the neccessary plug-in card. Add to that, the service mode is accessable by the customer so he can fine-tune the set precisely the way he wants (disabling and enabling the enhancing systems as he sees fit, changing the LCD color calibration and so on). So, basicly, it's not like Apple Inc. at all.

@jstar -- that's something new then. Back when I owned my Loewe TV, the only option was the VideoText card, which came pre-installed at the dealer where I bought it. If this is indeed what they do now, I'm very impressed. This is how TVs SHOULD work.
