You claim there is a Hauppauge HVR-1900... I am looking on the www.hauppauge.co.uk website and all I see is a 1400 which is SMC slot?? In fact just checked hauppauge.com and there seems to be a 1950 model! Perhaps it hasn't been released yet or maybe I haven't found it. Is it HD compatible like the HVR-900H model? --This is not so important but a nicety none the less :-) I will forward my previous post to you directly! Regards, Kaya
