Yes, but that is obviously a Euro model. The one the OP linked clearly
shows component in and out. I didn't get a chance to check it out today,
but I might be able to tomorrow. It looks somewhat promising, but
probably not as nice as the Hauppage device, at least from a MythTV
perspective. It would probably make a good front end, but it would be a
bit pricey for just that.
