They are only available in the US and at Sears. I have one and I'd call it "ok at best". The firmware is atrocious. There's been 5 versions in the past 12 months. The first 3 versions had numerous crash problems. The 4th version stopped the crashes, but couldn't keep time so it missed recording programs.

The 5th version is generally ok, but still has several rough spots. It's been almost 5 month since the last update, so perhaps that is the version us owners are stuck with.
