ok I ordered from the page that was given to me... but this is what I got...<BR>
<BR>
"Thank you for your online order# 36455 I can not process your order due to an FCC ruling.<BR>Unfortunately due to an FCC ruling Hauppauge Computer Works is no longer allowed to ship out analog tuners to consumers.<BR>This is due to the transition of broadcast TV signal from analog to digital come Feb. of 2009. The WINTV-PVR500MC kit <BR>Has an NTSC analog tuner on the board. Hauppauge has an equivalent product line to the PVR product line and that is the HVR<BR>(Hybrid Video Recorder).The HVR is a Hybrid unit and they have two tuner applications on the board. It has 1-NTSC analog 125 channel cable ready tuner and 1- ATSC digital tuner. The equivalent HVR is the WINTV-HVR2250 model# 01213. You can read up <BR>On the unit on Hauppauge Computer Works web site found on the home page as a new item. Please look at the Hybrid tuner devices for an equivalent. In the mean time I will have to cancel your order and your credit card will not charge. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Hauppauge Computer Works at 800-443-6284 or by e-mail at <A href="mailto:sales@hauppauge.com">sales@hauppauge.com</A> and any of the sales reps can assist you.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Vincent<BR>Hauppauge Computer Works <BR>
