[...] Tranquil Personal computer, home to Manchester’s own media server gurus, is reportedly gearing up to tempt your wallet once more with the M one. Stated media server will look quite similar to the A3, and will boast 2TB of internal storage space, four DVB-T digital terrestrial tuners and an Ethernet jack.

Wow, that thing sounds amazing!

Do you know if they have any plans to produce a model that would work with US Television Standards?

Thanks,
