Hauppauge HD PVR

[stangdaman]

I'm sure that this has been mentioned on here so I'll apologize for the repeat post but I did a couple searches and couldn't find anything. Are there any plans for this to be supported in GBPVR when it comes out in May?

I have one sitting on my desk. Its already supported in 1.2.9.

Sweet. How do you like it?

Seems pretty good. Admittedly I havnt spent too much time with it yet - been too busy with other stuff, and we dont have a highdef digital cable or satellite service here to put it to proper use. I can imagine it'll be incredibly useful for people in the US.

Well that's really good to hear that it's already supported. I'm pretty pumped for this. Have they said anything to you about initial availability or what retailers will have them?

Sorry, I dont know anything about that stuff.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Last I heard was a May release. I don't know what their initial rollout will be but they will sell quickly.

Yeah I actually got an e-mail from their sales department confirming that it's supposed to be an end of May release but I couldn't get any information about who would be carrying them or what price out of them. Of course they originally had said end of March so hopefully they can get it out by the end of May. I wonder if they realize the demand that these cards are going to have. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one when they come out.

Will this card be the only card available that can be used with a HD cable box? All other HD cards I've seen have been for "over the air" only.
