[mythtvnz] Hauppauge HVR 2200 - dual tuner PCI-E DVB-T/analogue driver

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Hello all,

Recently there have been discussions on this list about PCI-E dual tuner
cards.  The prime example of this is the Hauppauge HVR 2200:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200
which is a dual-tuner, DVB-T and analogue (hardware MPEG2) tuner (i.e.
it can record two DVB-T multiplexes, two analogue channels with hardware
encoding or one of each) and even comes with a low-profile bracket to
fit it into the smaller HTPC cases.

They seem to retail on PriceSpy is a little below $200, so a card that I
have had my eye on for some time.

The main person working on the driver for this card has resumed work on
it and is now accepting donations.  The driver is for the HVR 2250 and
2200 (I understand that they are similar from a driver point of view).
Progress can be tracked on his blog here:
