as part of the tv crew on a low-power independant tv show, the station manager has a connection with a store owner who said that they're expecting the tr-40 in their store june 15th... don't quote me on that date though...
I just received an email from the company I ordered the DTVPAL from cancelling my order because they found out that the converter will sell for $59.99 instead of $39.99 and they have been left hanging by the distributer on the date the converters would be available. I would be very careful about ordering the DTVPAL.

Any word on the famed EchoStar TR-40 (also known as the "DTVPal")??
AFAIK, that is the one many people are waiting for. Features include:
-estimated $40 price at retail, so free (except for tax) with a voucher
-analog pass-through
-VCR/event timer capabilities.
Months ago, I read it would be out in "june or july" but haven't heard much since then...
