Just trying to understand (_before_ buying equipment): is the bug in the
firmware of the Hauppauge Nexus-S only? All Hauppauge cards including
the PVR-250? Or somewhere else?

A time comes when silence is betrayal. Even when pressed by the demands of 
inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's 
policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without 
great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought, within one's 
own bosom and in the surrounding world.
