[mythtv-users] Hauppauge HD-PVR competators?

[Sebastien Astie]

David,

I've checked www.pvrcompanion.com and didn't see any updates in a while.
I am ready to pull the trigger on 4 hd-pvr from hauppauge; I would
rather have a networked solution than a USB one. Will your product be
released before year end? If I had an idea about the timeframe I would
be more willing to wait for it.

Thanks
