Hauppauge Buys Pinnacle PCTV Assets from Avid

After commenting on the TiVo and Nero partnership for PC TV tuners and recording capabilities, I thought it was worth mentioning that Hauppauge has purchased the Pinnacle PCTV tuner produts and related assets from Avid Technology. It looks like Avid is going to go more of the software route and leave the TV tuner hardware business to Hauppauge. Hauppauge has a big European presence, so this will likely strengthen that.
