Sorry about that. As you can tell, I am new to this list. (and, in fact 
several years removed from my last mailing list). Thanks for the 
clarification on the Hauppauge - thats pretty much what I thought when 
they disappeared "all of the sudden". Is their a market for selling off 
the remotes that come with the retail PVR-250?
