</div>That is quite unfortunate. Perhaps is Hauppauge understood how many<br>
addition units it would sell if they included Linux support. Perhaps<br>
they are not concerned about that.<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div>No, I'd say Hauppauge knows that the Linux community will provide drivers. So why should Hauppauge spend time/money making linux drivers themselves. Furthermore Hauppauge knows that 3rd party linux drivers will be more stable, robust, well maintained, and documented then any driver Hauppauge has ever produced internally.<br>

I am sure we will get drivers but may take a month or so then time to add it to Myth. I would estimate now it will be ~3-4 months before we have full MythTV integration and an updated STABLE build to support it... smelling .21.1 tho. No big deal, i can wait.<br>
<br>Any one trying to cancel their pre-orders now? <br><br>Mitchell<br></div></div>
