Linux + Remote
[edit]"but there are reportedly difficulties getting the remote control and IR blaster to work." If the 150 remote is the same as all the others (looks like it) then it's not so much a difficulty as time consuming. If you know what you're doing it won't take long at all, just a case of getting LIRC set up correctly. Then again, I did spend two weeks tearing my hair out over the thing... --144.124.16.33 22:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Etymology & pronunciation of Hauppauge
[edit]i read that the hauppauge company has its headquarters in a city of the same name, hence they took it.
there should be an article about hauppauge city in wikipedia.
oh, and it would be nice if someone added how to pronunce hauppauge (i read it is pronunced HAW-pack).
maybe someone can at this too (in IPA transcription would be great to for foreign wikireaders).
bye, --Abdull 22:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- There's already a seperate article on Hauppauge, NY so I linked it. I found the pronunciation on a web page of Hauppauge (the company), ofcourse a true IPA transcription would be much preferred. mvdhout 11:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- i've added the IPA pronounciation: /hɔphɔg/ -- UkPaolo 4 July 2005 12:23 (UTC)
Table of products
[edit]The technical details about specific products are not really the topic of the article, but I think they're nice to have. I'm thinking we should take a cue from the article for Adobe Photoshop and move the product details into tables, which I think would look a little better than the current ad-hoc prose & lists, and it would leave more room for the prose to discuss the company and its line(s) of business in general. —mjb 02:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

The product listing section should be replaced by a single table with relevant information. Right now, it looks more like a product brochure. ---203.123.182.26 10:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's a good start, but recent edits have resulted in a table that omits a lot of detail that was in previous versions of the article. Can you please go through and flesh it out a bit? Let the reader decide what's 'relevant'. —mjb 20:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I've added back all of the information that was in there before. It needs tidying up in terms of phrasing CX23882-19 21:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Unclear section
[edit]The section containing this "In late 2006 and early 2007, Hauppauge began selling WinTV-PVR 150 cards that actually contained Hauppauge's new HVR-1600 card" is unreferenced & more importantly is unclear. Given that the HVR-1600 is a ASTC card, I would presume this only occured in North America or maybe only even in the US but from a quick read, a user would have no way of knowing this. 203.109.240.93 19:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
The remark above refers to an earlier version of the text below which was removed by 167.206.143.26 on 20 March 2007. 195.162.202.45 20:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Potentially Illegal Business Practices
[edit]In late 2006 and early 2007, Hauppauge began selling WinTV-PVR-150 cards that actually contained Hauppauge's new HVR-1600 card. No details of this switch were shown on the external package, however, an internal note[1] explains that the switch was due to an "excess of demand during the holiday season". Although the new card is considered an upgrade due to inclusion of an ATSC tuner, this switch renders the device useless for some users since the HVR-1600 is currently, as of 2007, unsupported in Linux. Such practices are generally considered illegal as they constitute a form of bait-and-switch advertising. The switch may be a moot point for U.S. consumers though, due to new laws taking effect March 1, 2007 that require all TV tuning devices sold in the U.S. to be able to receive both analog and digital signals.
