ZT Group buys 1000s of these OEM cards to build MCE systems and are providing these same OEM cards to z-buy and cnetpc on the side. To prove that these are all the same companys simply do a whois and you'll see they are all at the same physical address. I wonder if Hauppauge is happy about them dumping OEM cards, that are sold retail for $149.95?

Wow! Very interesting info there Greg. Thanks
Now I'm really chomping @ the bit about getting mine. I'll be standing @ the door every day till she gets here.
I'm also replacing a Leadtek XP 2000 with this & am moving my PC next to my HDTV so I can use it as a htpc & still have it as a regular gaming PC.
What a great deal this one has turned out to be. I've still yet to check out Sage & Beyonds software but I can only imagine how much the manufacturers of the TIVO & the likes must be shivering in their boots as the prospects of products like these.
This is a HUGE cost savings over any set~up that requires a monthly fee as well as their hardware to run it.
Awesome deal!
