correct. We are allowed to sell HDO4000 but not HDO1000.
Makes no sense to me. It's not as if Batronix are going to stop selling Siglents.
If Rigol only want to sell them via rigolshop.eu then they could just do that without mentioning Siglent.

Understand your questions but there may be plenty of reasons. One of them: margins.
Here is a histogram of the 1 mV/div data. The data from the Rigol HDO looks different. Which effect can this be?

Conrad Electronic have listed the "Killer", but only for commercial customers, not for privates.
I contacted by email:
Hi,
thank you for your enquiry. We are distributor for Rigol AND Siglent. Therefore Rigol doesn`t allow us to sell the HDO series as long we are also working with Siglent. I am very sorry for no better news.

and my second email:
You are selling now the HDO4000 series. I think you mean the HDO1000 only. Is this right?

I was very surprised of this, I'm interested in buying the HDO1000 but I don't like this kind of things from any company. For me this is a dirty trick and yes, Rigol can do whatever they want and choose the resellers they want and dictate them everything they want.
I somewhat miss a relatively high power 50 ohms resistor for the termination.
So the thing most worth seeing inside is ... that there's really not much to see. Even an advanced Oscilloscope like this has been reduced to less than a dozen chips on a PCB and a minimal amount of small components.
PS: The bird on the PCB looks like a puffin to me. I wonder where the centaur went.

For the ADCs it makes sense that they have 4 inputs, so they can use them with a cheaper 4 channel scope.
Why they are using 2 paths to the front ends is still odd. For a single signal this does not make much sense, except maybe as a dealy for interleaving 2 ADCs.
