Here are a couple of snaps of the Kaons (the combination HD satellite/terrestrial STB and the beautiful twin-tuner PVR jobbie)...

You can check the full range of Kaon receivers at the manufacturer website here.

Hi Michael

AFAIK it's not been released yet, but there was a message on the Kaon website which said something to the effect of "Coming Soon", and that has now gone.

Maybe that means it's a little closer?

The Dreambox 8000 is on the horizon too now, and that must take the top spot on the list of STB must-haves
