I got mine a couple of weeks ago from element14 and it cost me $55.50
NZ delivered.

Very reasonable. Seems to work quite well. I have merged the opdenkamp xbmc pvr
branch and others with the xbmc-rbp branch and can playback from freeview DVB-T
quite happily.

It does have a few artifacts and the sound does sometimes stop but I'm sure that
is something that can be worked on.

Cheers,
Paul
