Oh ye of little faith.
Remember: this is a DTT STB. As such, just like the previous Accurian HD
box, it must be kept strictly under wraps, hidden from public view, and
only made available to those who really try. It wouldn't do, for
example, to advertize on TV. Or any other such obvious move on their
part.
It's best to have these "languishing on store shelves," just so Radio
Shack can claim that "they didn't sell, so we stopped carrying them, but
you really should take a closer look at this DBS box instead."
So, at their main web site, search for "tv converter box." It's the
first item that appears.
Here are the specs:

Interesting to note that this box meets the EU power consumption
requirements for DTV STBs. It is "less than" 8W typical, and "less than"
1W in standby.
It seems very bare bones. Only stereo L/R analog and one composite video
output, in addition to RF NTSC output.
