I never heard of Sonicblue making DVD players until you just mentioned 
this -- I did some surfing around, and found that Sonicblue announced a 
networkable DVD player at the last CES show, but this was three months 
before Sonicblue filed Chapter 11 (this past April).

I further researched the Sonicblue asset auction, and found that 
Sonicblue's GoVideo unit was also sold off; the new buyer kept the 
GoVideo name and continues to make DVD players and recorders and DVD/VCR 
combo units under that brand. You might try going to www.govideo.com to 
see if they still make the player you saw at that Sony dealer (they 
still make the networkable DVD player that Sonicblue intro'd at CES).

HTH. HAND. :)
