<font size=3>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. <br><br>
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. <br><br>
