That I am not sure. It seems like this will be a staggered launch but in the end we will all see it.

I don't think its available to order yet. I called in and the rep said the pricing info should be ready closer to the end of the preview.

I have a question... has anyone else experience difficulties with 822 Channel V Taiwan? Because it seems to be working sometimes, but the screen freezes after watching for a few minutes...then it takes a long time "tuning" after which showing the message "channel is unavailable please try again later"...
