</div></div>Not sure if I understand you, are you saying the products are different or<br>
that the Kiwi company should be supported as it supports MythTV ?<br>
<br>
I try to support Kiwi firms but a $65 price difference is quite a bit :-)<br>

He went out of the way for me after the 2011 earthquake when I urgently needed networking gear to get my business running. <br>
<br>In fact I helped hook him up his distribution arrangement for the HD Homerun, but have no financial or other pecuniary interest in whether he sells any. I just simply think he is a great guy, supports open source, supports mythtv and deserves our support, rather than some Australian retailer probably owned by capitalist wankers.<br>
<br><br></div><div>Bloody ironic that a NZ product is cheaper to buy from Australia than from NZ (yeah I know they aren't made here and their main office is in the US, but there are kiwis behind it).<br></div></div></div>
