There have been at least one (embarrassing?) false
starts.  The first 6 tuner Prime was expected to
include a transcoder chip, but availability of that
chip turned to dust (which was not SD's direct fault,
they just choose the same SoC that others choose
(I guess everyone agreed it was the first choice?), and
the others got in line first, and then the requirements
apparently changed along the way).  The most
recent variant seems to be in the CL process,
I suspect this one will ship later than some (including
SD) hoped, but will, eventually ship (obviously the
ideal target would be the next few weeks for the
holiday buying frenzy, but with zero knowledge of
their actuals, I think most would be surprised it is
available for that event).
