I was at the PC Show this afternoon looking out for DVRs and the AC Ryan Playon!DVR HD is one of them...
Unfortunately wasn't showcased in any of the booths...
I approached one of the salesperson at Booth 2108 (Level 6) asking about the DVR...
He replied only the Playon! HD & Playon HD Mini are being sold at the PC Show...

I continued asking about the DVR, whether the new batch has arrived with a newer Realtek chip...
He said yes, it's on sale at retail outlets, not at the PC Show and what's amusing is that he went on to say it's a vertical standing model...
Completely stunned, I attempted to confirm what he said by asking about the model with the horizontal orientation (no model was mentioned but I'm referring to ACR-PV75100 & ACR-PV75120)...
He went on to say those are old models and the new ones are vertical standing...

Well, I'm pretty sure the vertical standing model he was referring to is the old model of the DVR (http://images.trustedreviews.com/images/article/inline/10913-img9331s.jpg)...
Either he's very wrong (and I'm pretty sure he is) or I'm not doing my homework well enough...
Probably it's not right to ask about a product which is not on display...
But in any case, it's always better to admit that he's unsure of the product than to give incorrect information...

I was looking for this model too but could not find any

I'm sure you've read about the plethora of problems plaguing the HD DVR now...
It's probably best to put our purchases on hold for newer revisions to be out...

@PFG... yup.... kinda surprised.... I have 3 other friends who's KIV'ing the purchase for this DVR too
Just wonder when will it be 'ready'

I don't understand.

If it's a new model, what is pv75100?

Hmmm, it seems to have a front LCD screen as well...
Apart from that, everything else seems a little different...
I don't know, AC Ryan has been so quiet on how they're dealing with the DVR situation it's rather shocking...

End Of June is the estimated Shipping Date , it has the looks of Playon!HD but longer with more implementations , better look , different casing and many more .....

2 weeks left according to video so lets see what it will be ...

Reficul

Reficul you are an AC Ryan staff member and the best you can do is get your information from a Hexus promotion video with a 'yes woman' public relations blonde?

I'm very confused. For a staff member you do not seem to have direct access to up to date information directly from a reliable source within your company, AC Ryan.

Are you an "AC Ryan Staff Member" or perhaps an "AC Ryan (community) Forums Staff Member" ??

If new model is coming in few weeks then it would be quite foolish for me to buy this (old???) one. I was planning to buy directly from http://www.playondvr.com/en/#buynow-eu but now I'm not so sure. Also need to know whether DVB-subtitling works in recording ( because of Finnish National Broadcasting Company YLE channels ).

Well, I hope somebody is going to answer.
