That is quite unfortunate. Perhaps is Hauppauge understood how many<br>
addition units it would sell if they included Linux support. Perhaps<br>
they are not concerned about that.<br>

No, I'd say Hauppauge knows that the Linux community will provide
drivers. So why should Hauppauge spend time/money making linux drivers
themselves. Furthermore Hauppauge knows that 3rd party linux drivers
will be more stable, robust, well maintained, and documented then any
driver Hauppauge has ever produced internally.<br>

Basically what I was thinking. Why should they spend the money when
others will do it for free... Hopefully they at least lend a hand to
the devs that end up working on this.<br>
