Well, I just gave them a call and spoke with a very helpfull CSR.

He said that they only had 20, that people went nuts and ordered 3 or more, had over 400 orders total and they're letting the shipping dept decide who gets what. So that probably means most of us will get nothing.

As far as shipping goes, he said not more $8.

poop...sucks they only had 20. I ordered at 2:30am EST. they probably already had 20 orders. I doubt I'll get one..but I hope I do! there's software out there that will decode pay-per-view channels with this card!

abcbooze...where can you get that software?!...not that i expect to get in on that deal, but i'm looking into a tv tuner but couldn't fine any decoders.
