Hauppauge has emailed me to say they're launching one of their new hybrid TV cards at CeBit this week.

Basically, they're billing it as "the world's first quad mode tuner."

It's capable of receiving all UK TV broadcast formats, including analog, Freeview digital, satellite and High Definition (HD) satellite.

It should be available mid-March, at around £180, and comes in PCI format.

The card is packed with the usual Hauppauge features, and will undoubtedly drop in price as the year rolls on -- but you should expect this kind of card to be the standard for a PC-based TV tuner/PVR in the UK in the very near future.
