I just wanted to get some clarification on something that I've been 
wondering about for a while.  And this has probably been covered before, 
so I apologize.

I was just curious if this means that you are moving away from using the 
Hauppauge external firmware at all and moving towards using your own 
drivers completely instead.  That's what it kind of sounded like from 
reading the announcement, at least.
