Correct the Hauppauge receiver plugs into the PVR-250 or 350 card. Not very
useful unless your frontend is also your backend.

I like it. It is easy to setup as it is recognized as a keyboard and a
mouse. xmodmap is all you need to map the keys and away you go. A few weeks
back there was a link to a company selling their own version of the ATI for
$25.00 US. Pretty affordable.
