Hauppague Kudos!

June 12th, 2007

While the local CompUSA was still in business, I picked up a Hauppauge PVR-150 for the MythTV build.

When I took it out of the box, I had a bit of a surprise. The card should look like this.

Instead, it looked like:hauppauge card

What’s missing, you say? This: hauppauge thingey

Eeek! Since the store was closing, they were in a “no returns” mode, not that they were every very nice about returns. So, I emailed Hauppauge, and sent a couple of pics.

Hauppauge’s return team has got to be one of the best I’ve used. No problems, immediately got an RMA number, sent the card back, got a new one.

Kudos to Hauppauge for a great experience!

    Very cool. I have researched PVR cards a dozen times. I can never quite bite the bullet.

    Anyway, Hauppauge quality and service has always been discussed very highly. Glad you experienced the same.
