So PVR is an extra R55, will the third channel be for the same price? With a 4th recording?

I was under the impression that the new HD decoder will have 3 or 4 tuners built in... Now it seems as if it is only one? Or have I read the article incorrectly?

Boy now I am very impatient, I want mine now, I ordered it a week ago already!
I have been running a old 17year old MNet decoder and it just looks crap on my new LG HDCP LCD.

I saw the HD decoder, it has been on the ISER price list for a little while now. You can use it as a standalone decoder AFAIK, it is PVR, but it can only watch a channel and record another, not the 3 channel way the old one used to.

According to this earlier article it was suppose to be a 4 channel decoder:

The HD PVR has 4 inputs, 1 is for viewing, 2 and 3 are for background recording and the 4th is for EPG data and VOD downloads.
Edit: VOD = Video on demand

Are there any special requirements wrt cables etc or can we just swap out our old PVR and replace it with the new HDPVR?
Do we also know about the recoring time? Did they put in bigger HDrives to accomodate the HD recording?
I also take it they will nolonger be selling the std PVR?

Does anyone know where you can get this from, or pre-order?
F@ck... They are installing my DSTV today, with the normal decoder... should i wait? I guess it's not that hard, the normal decoder costs like R400 bucks, i'm willing to lose that and get the new HD one when it's released...
