This is slightly off-topic, but... Can somebody please confirm or deny the existance of a PVR-500 (non-MCE edition)? Hauppauge's own website doesn't list a PVR-500, only a PVR-500 MCE. They have a "PVR-500MCE-Kit", which has a Windows Media Center remote control and an IR Blaster (they call it a "beanbag"), but it is not the same remote that is included with the other Hauppauge cards (using an IR connector on the card itself).
