If this box isn't vaporware, there should soon start to show up a few hints that it's coming to market . . . rumor of a beta test, quantity component order or something.

Ok, vacation is over...time for our top-notch staff of SatelliteGuys reports to get back to work and dig up some information on the TR-50 (aka DTVBuddy).
Does anyone have an idea of when, or if, we'll see this unit hit the streets?Ok, vacation is over...time for our top-notch staff of SatelliteGuys reports to get back to work and dig up some information on the TR-50 (aka DTVBuddy).

A long, long time ago when they delayed the TR-40/DTVPal from March to June, they said the TR-50 would be September. The TR-40/DTVPal did come out in June, but it took a month to debug the primary timer issues. I don't know if that has pushed out the TR-50 date, but I don't think they are beta testing yet.
Bob and Scott! You guys have any guru insider type of information you can share with us peasants? hehe
TR-50 Still Beta Testing
The Tr-50 is finally being sent out to the beta testers later this week.

Thanksgiving would be an ambitious delivery date, whereas us beta testers just received our test units today.
Cool...is the TR-50 going to use TVGOS or the lackluster PSIP implementation they put in the TR-40/DTVPal.
For the record (since this thread comes up high in a Google search) the TR-50 was actually release as the awkwardly named "DTV Pal DVR" or "DTVPal DVR". That said it is a great unit, and lots of details can be found over on AVS Forum. I'm very happy with my unit, it is straightforward, easy, and non-intrusive.
