Hauppauge HD-PVR Support

So a simple question. Is it as simple as plugging in the Hauppauge HD-PVR, installing the drivers and selecting the Hauppauge HD-PVR as a tuner or are there extremely cryptic setup procedures?

How is everyone tuning their cable boxes from SageTV?

Thanks,

It can be that simple...however, it's usually not. I'm using firewire for channel changing with my HD-PVR and it works flawlessly. However, it takes some effort to get it working.

Thanks for the reply. Man, I just want a simple way to use digital cable. I don't want a closed DVR from the cable company. I don't want another box on my desk. My PC is great for this but how much longer can we use analog or hack around the digital issues.

I just wish the FCC would make the digital providers offer simple digital tuners for the PC without all the DRM/cablecard lockdowns.

We need a spcial interest group.
