Quad-source TV tuner
British and other European computer owners may be interested in the HVR-4000, Hauppauge's upcoming TV tuner. The 4000 is unique in that it supports four different broadcast formats, including analog, Freeview, satellite, and HD satellite. The card fits into a PCI slot, and in turn accepts inputs from aerial and satellite receivers. Programs on DVB-S2 can be recorded in the original H.264 codec, and DiSEqC 1.0 can be used to switch between four separate satellite sources. The HVR-4000 is due in the United Kingdom in mid-March, and should sell for an average of £179 ($345).
