Hi David, The TGV-100 has been discontinued. When I bought mine 2 years ago through Sony Canada, they had just been removed from the stores. I was lucky and managed to order one through the internet. For the last 2 years Jeremy Benning and I have been on the hunt for the TGV-100's. He and I both own 2 clamshells each but we only had one tuner each. Through extensive surfing and hours pouring over Goggle, I found that they were still being sold in some store in Japan. We even spoke to a Sony Canada exec and explained that we need the tuners for professional purposes and although discontinued, were still available in Japan on a limited basis. Although he sympathised, he could not get any from Japan due to trade restrictions on electronics. Finally, about a month and a half ago, a friend of ours was going back to Japan for a holiday, and had agreed that he would bring back these tuners for Jeremy and I. He brought back 2 for me and 2 for Jeremy, and an additional 10 which were snapped up on eBay (Here's one of the auctions http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...tem=3071792474). Anyway, to make a short story even longer, Ko (our friend) has managed to get his brother to buy the last 8 units that are available in Japan. I believe he still has several NTSC units left. The best way is to email Jeremy Benning to inquire about availability. Needless to say it has been a long process to find these and seeing that Ko/Jeremy have the last ones, they probably won't be cheap. I think I've seen them sold for US$400-US$500 on eBay. Good luck.
