great, I await your patches.

What's your logic here?  Because you and some other people have have had
problems with the HD PVR 1, they must have been caused purely by a bad
driver and therefore Hauppauge as a whole is incompetent and incapable of
writing a driver for the HD PVR 2? A third party closed source driver is
going to fix all the yet-to-be-observed problems with the HD PVR 2?
