I'm not sure. It actually appears to be a site-wide 10% discount for using Visa's V.me feature.

It definitely is. I just used V.me and this promo code to purchase a PCIE InfiniTV6... so valid and working!

I guess it was a malfunction on the website a few days ago. I just tried the same promo code and it worked.

I think Richard meant to say "hybrid". The HDHR3-US is a dual hybrid ATSC/QAM tuner.

If a number isn't prime, it's composite.

So, if/when SD releases the 4-tuner model, it won't be called "Prime", eh?

Maybe they'll have to make a 5-tuner model. (Or a 7 Tuner model, but only 6 will work because of the cable-card!)
