I heard a similar date. The technology is there already, they just want to launch in the 3 months before Xmas.
Price range 1100-1400 apparently, and about £700 for a drive and software for the PC.
I`ve not seen any pricing info on the blank discs though, or whether they`ll be DVD-R or DVD-RW.

According to an article in the U.K. mag DVD review pioneer have a dvdr1000 which is a DVD-RW and should be available in April. It is on release in japan already. It says a single DVDR disc can hold upto 6 hours of recordings! if you like I will scan the article and mail it to you.

Know that this may not be relevant, but the Packard Bell ixtreme PC comes with dvd, tv card and tv out. You can record a tv programme to the hard drive and then watch it via the computer monitor, or your tv, you can also pause live tv programmes.
I read an article in a DVD magazine, which said people maybe reluctent about buying a recordable dvd player, when some computers already come with this capability.

Current DVDram drives cannot record TV in real time and as far as I know the discs wont play in standalone DVD players.
