It's not feature Hauppauge supports on the HVR2200 today. I have a suspicion 
this may change but I'm neither confirming, denying or announcing anything. It 
would make sense to officially support component cables on the HVR2200 since the 
silicon supports it. If/when it does I'm sure it will be mentioned in the forums 
or on the HVR2200 product packaging.

Raw analog TV isn't a high priority feature on my mental check-list. Analog TV 
via the encoder is much more interesting and applicable to many people.
