you and i both know thats not what he meant... anyways, it would be nice if they actually brought this DVR device to the US. I might actually start recording my shoes w/ this rather than getting them through..."other sources"
Why cant it just pull down free OTA here in the states? Someone please explain this to Maxx and I, other than "because USA doesnt have DVB-T." Why cant Sony just make a USB OTA HD tuner for the states?
It must be feasible to produce tuners for different markets. Assuming the software has the proper level of abstraction it shouldn't really matter too much to 95% of the code how the listings or video / audio data was pulled from the ether, be it ATSC, DVB-T, DVB-S or whatever.

ok I will ask what I am sure has been asked before but should be included in any article about this.......
Is there an indication about when/if its comming to the US ?

Of course not. That would be silly since the US doesn't use DVB-T.
