First I've heard of this one... of course I'm probably in the dark, eh?

Never heard of it either, looks like a Linux box aimed at the Dish crew, 8psk turbo. No mention of dvb-s2, just dvbs, dvbc,and dvbh.....what is dvb-h?
$1100+ didn't see blind scan either.

Okay a hand-picked, pre-setup MythTV box capable of DVB-S, DVB-C, and DVB-Handheld.
No DVB-T? WTF!
Linky:
DVB-H - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agreed, looks like someone's taking a page from Europe (thinking Dreambox) and adding what little we need for the eye-patch crowd to enjoy Charlie's HD service.

lets see:

$ 100 Aluminum HTPC case with built in Power supply
$ 150 Intel Core2 Duo and mobo special of the week
$  20 1GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
$ 100 Seagate 1TB Hard Drive
$  30 MCE Remote
$  50 DVD-RW
=======================================
$ 450 for base unit without tuners

$ 100 per ATSC/QAM/NTSC hybrid (assume 2)
$ 150 per DVB-S2 (assume 2)
=======================================
$ 500

$ 950 for the whole unit and 4 tuners
Operating Systems free along with MythTV.

Well that's not too bad...
