[mythtv] Open Source Linux driver for Hauppauge HD PVR 2 (1080p over HDMI) released!

[Full Name]

Hi,

Hauppauge has released an open source Linux driver for its HD PVR 2 model 1512, capable of capturing a 1080p video stream over HDMI.

ftp://ftp.hauppauge.com/Support/Test/Lin/hauppauge_driver_src_ver5.tgz

This is the only personal video recorder on the market that can capture full HD video at 30 fps (1080p30) over HDMI and that has an open source Linux driver.

It would be great to have this driver merged upstream so that it works with Linux out of the box. Could anyone ask the kernel developers on the linux-media list (http://www.linuxtv.org/lists.php) if they would be interested in porting it?

Thanks,
Bill
