$3,500?

Anyone want to predict how long they will be in business?
Over here in the states, you get a DVR free with most digital cable
subscriptions.
Granted this thing does a lot more, but who needs it?
And more importantly, who is going to spend $3,500 for it?

Who the hell even knows what it is?
Who the hell even knows what Linux is for that matter?

Can you say hello Loki?????
