[mythtv-users] OT: Hauppauge HD-PVR ships May 1

[Mache Creeger]

Since there has been no definitive announcement on drivers, I think 
you are getting a head of things. Lets assume the worse, that no v4l 
developer has gotten pre-release hardware and development starts on 
or after May 1, 2008. While reasonable people may differ, I would 
think development could easily take four to six months from inception 
before a driver release was available.

Bottom line is that while the hardware may be available on May 1, 
being able to use it on myth may take a whole lot longer.  If I were 
you, I would wait until we hear of a driver development program from 
the v4l guys. Moreover, if after all the hype in the listserv fails 
to translate into sales for Hauppauge, Hauppauge might actually kick 
in some hardware and development money to accelerate the v4l guys' 
efforts and Hauppauge's time to revenue.
