It's a technicolor tc5580-uhd. Not expensive at all. It's the same company as curtis and rca.

Having worked at Technicolor a while, they just licenses the brands to 3rd party OEMs. So the hardware is not from the same company.

I know, but it did what I wanted and didn't cost a lot($399CDN minus store points). Picture is acceptable too.
