I got a chuckle out of this from the specs:

Saves 10,000 channels (TV: 7000 CH, RADIO: 3,000 CH)

I guess when they plan for "future growth" they really mean it!

I really haven't had the time to keep up on all the lingo, I know MPEG-4 H.264 is a European transmit method, and not sure if thats even used in the US at all.

It says it does QPSK and 8PSK, maybe someone with knowledge of the transmission methods for HD would comment on whether the specs will allow this thing to receive OTA HD from US tv stations.
