The link to the page on the 8100 doesn't work yet, but it's listed as an HD PVR.

I keep it up on a tab in Firefox, and poll it from time to time.
Keep hoping they'll post some info on it.

I asked about this over in the Satellite and Broadband Expo section, but didn't get any response.
Should have been easy to grab the Coolsat rep by the collar and shake an answer out of him.
Maybe I'll go next year.

Ok, I can't believe this pricing is accurate. This thing is gonna flop IMO if they price it like this

I also notice that coolsat took it off the products page

Edit: laff, now I see it is $9,999.99 each.

Specs finally posted

Max 160gig drive kinda sucks for any major HD recording
nothing about blind scan

It's a USB-attached drive though, so theoretically you could use more than one without a lot of trouble.

Looks like Coolsat is actually rebadging and maybe slightly changing a receiver from Europre for their 8100 model

Looking at the pics on some of this links, it seems the 8000 is from the similar lineage.
