There's a problem with that. Hauppauge has been making TV Cards for computers since 1992. (ref: http://www.hauppage.com/pages/aboutus.html) Patent No. 6,674,960 (The one in question, which relates to recording to a hard-drive) was filed in 2002, that's 10 years after Hauppauge make a system for doing so. Therefore Patent No. 6,674,960 is moot under the terms of "Prior Art", if I recall correctly. No big deal here, then. -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
