Yes, they do make a special order PAL TV tuner card in the 8886. It's price is the same as normal, but it adds around 2 weeks to delivery of the notebook. I just wanted to pass that info along for people wondering.

Clevo has total 5 different kinds of TV tuner:

(1) NTSC: Taiwan, USA, Canada, Mexico
(2) PAL-I: England, S. Africa, and Hong Kong.
(3) PAL-BG+DK: Germany, Finland, Spain, Australia, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, E Europe, Northern part of China
(4) SECAM-D/K: Russia, NIS
(5) NTSC-J: Japan.

I am sure that Sager can order any of these TV tuners from Clevo, they just need to know in advance which particular one.

All right, now that's intriguing.

I'm an American living in Japan, so I guess I'd want two TV tuners...

Any thoughts on how that would work out? How much would an extra TV tuner cost, anyway? What about software for the Japanese one - would it be possible to use the same software as the American one?

According to Sager to put a different version in it requires a lot of work. I just did an order for one someone wanted to swap and the best Sager could do is sell it with one version and promise a charge of $100 to purchase and swap the card themselves down the road. The notebook would be returned with the new card installed and the old one would also be returned with it. They said it requires pulling the whole system apart to swap and reconfigure and doubt most techs would want to do it.
