[mythtv-users] WinTV PVR-250 cards on sale

[Matthew Schumacher]

Andrew,

The rebate is from Hauppauge (at least it was when compusa did the same 
thing 2 weeks ago).  I called them to ask about my PO BOX (I don't get 
mail at my house) and talked to the lady that processes all of the 
rebates and she was very nice.

While I share your concern of rebates, I feel pretty good about this one.
