[mythtv-users] Hauppauge HD PVR (A bit more info for those starved for it)

[Josh White]

I was just thinking something like "A friend of mine with some contacts at
Hauppauge hooked me up.  I can't get into the details of who, what, where,
when or how, but here's what I've learned: He had access to [what I know
about the hardware] and used it to to produce [description of output] from
[description of source].  I got a copy of this output and I was able to [do
whatever] with it.  This is very encouraging news to the MythTV community"

Most written works that begin with the words "In fairness..." are hundreds
of pages long and eventually fill you in on what it all means.  From what
you wrote, it made me feel like I walked into the middle of one of my
Engineering classes from college.

Basically, it looks like you were answering a question or continuing a
thread without describing the question.
