[mythtv-users] Seeking Remote Control Advice for PVR-500

[Joe Votour]

This is slightly off-topic, but...

Can somebody please confirm or deny the existance of a
PVR-500 (non-MCE edition)?  Hauppauge's own website
doesn't list a PVR-500, only a PVR-500 MCE.  They have
a "PVR-500MCE-Kit", which has a Windows Media Center
remote control and an IR Blaster (they call it a
"beanbag"), but it is not the same remote that is
included with the other Hauppauge cards (using an IR
connector on the card itself).
