Noticed that most Euro sites are back ordered, except for Portugal and Finland. Also, with the $ crashing since February, the then 225 purchase price is now about 240 plus or minus. So, it should be interesting to see what the selling U.S. price will be in June.

I have more than 8 usb tuners, but a lot of them are Sundtek. I can only get one Sundtek tuner to be seen or recognized. This is probably Not an Octagon issue, but rather a Sundtek issue.

So, I'm wondering if the respective tuner icon is shown in my skin. The coding in the skin is correct but untested. Can you see tuner 7 for instance?
