To be fair, I never did the NDA thing myself, of course; I'm just assuming it was the same because of the note on this page: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1950 It sounds from there like the NDA got you a kernel patch (maybe this very one, but maybe not). > So I at least hope you're right that #3 is history and #2 is the > present.
