Grant is correct. The digital switch only applies to OTA (Over the Air). Cable |
| 27 |
operators could do whatever they want. |

Not sure why the PVR-150 isn't just working out of the box for you. I know |
| 30 |
there were some complaints about Hauppauge quietly putting another device in |
| 31 |
the box. And that's because of the switch over. As of March 1, 2007 |
| 32 |
manufacturers had to include a digital tuner if they included an analog tuner. |
| 33 |
This included computer interface cards as well. I believe the new Hauppauge is |
| 34 |
a PVR-1600 with dual tuner (NTSC & ATSC). |

Good luck. |
