Hauppauge releases USB 2.0 WinTV-PVR

The first generation of USB 1.1 TV tuners were pretty sad — the bandwidth to the computer just wasn't there, and no one invested in compression to alleviate the bottleneck.  Which is why we're thanking the bountiful god of gadgets that some more robust USB 2.0 tuners are on their way, like the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB 2.0, which also gives the added bonus of hardware MPEG-2 encoding.  So TiVo, where's that PC version of your digital video recording software we've been hassling you about?
