Rats, just recieved the following from Scan after waiting more than 2 weeks for them to deliver my Hauppauge Nova-T cards
I need some 3.3v cards to get my project off the ground. Does anybody know what is going on with Hauppauge or can anyone recommend an alternative that will work in a 3.3v slot. Rgds Scott White Thankyou for your order from Scan. Unfortunately, the " Hauppauge Win/TV Nova-T PCI " is End Of Life . You can select one of the following options: 1. Choose an alternative. A refund/debit will be processed wherever necessary. We suggest LN3178 Hauppauge NOVA-T USB 2. Cancellation and refund of the item in question. > > > Oh oh.
