Something to try is to contact Hauppauge directly... I emailed their UK  
office (I'm in Sweden and their swedish officer is sales only, IIRC) and  
complained that the cable I got with the card (the one the OP has) wasn't  
the one in the manual (the one Jim's talking about). Once they replied it  
took less than a week for the package to arrive, and didn't cost me more  
than a few emails... =)
