That's because Marcus and I moved on to DVB shortly before the millennium and the lacking support by Hauppauge and others continued in this area. Neither Hauppauge nor the actual manufacturer of the DVB cards Technotrend released any information. Drivers for the Nexus, the SAA7146 based Nova cards and the USB adapters had to be written without their support (but with some substantial help by Siemens for the Nexus cards) and less than 5 years ago. Support by Hauppauge is VERY recent only (maybe 1 year compared to 10 years before that). Ralph -- /--------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Dr. Ralph J.K.
