Courtesy of my twitter friend and fellow HTPC nerd Brent Evans over at GeekTonic, broke the story that Hauppauge is working directly with Microsoft to provide native, fully functional HD-PVR support in 7MC.

Now that this has all but been confirmed, as we all have been speculating because 7MC has native h.264 support it was only a matter of time before all of us found out that Hauppauge will be providing native HD-PVR in 7MC.

Now the only issue this doesn’t resolve is that if you are like me and live in a Comcast area, you are still stuck with only getting HD DVR Motorola boxes. Meaning you are still stuck paying the absorbent monthly costs for the cable box.

As always you can find me on twitter, or register on here and post up a comment.
