I don't think they are being sold yet.

Sorry, I have no idea.
I still have to find out if and on what channels they are transmitting 
in DVB-T here in Germany so that I can test it.

Furthermore, there seems to be a DVB-S cards with another demodulator 
and board layout showing up every other week now. So, who can say if
the final retail product will even have the same frontend hardware ...
