[edit] Linux + Remote

"but there are reportedly difficulties getting the remote control and IR blaster to work." If the 150 remote is the same as all the others (looks like it) then it's not so much a difficulty as time consuming. If you know what you're doing it won't take long at all, just a case of getting LIRC set up correctly. Then again, I did spend two weeks tearing my hair out over the thing... --144.124.16.33 22:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology & pronunciation of Hauppauge

i read that the hauppauge company has its headquarters in a city of the same name, hence they took it.

there should be an article about hauppauge city in wikipedia.

oh, and it would be nice if someone added how to pronunce hauppauge (i read it is pronunced HAW-pack).

maybe someone can at this too (in IPA transcription would be great to for foreign wikireaders).

bye, --Abdull 22:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There's already a seperate article on Hauppauge, NY so I linked it. I found the pronunciation on a web page of Hauppauge (the company), ofcourse a true IPA transcription would be much preferred. mvdhout 11:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

i've added the IPA pronounciation: /hɔphɔg/ -- UkPaolo 4 July 2005 12:23 (UTC)

[edit] Table of products

The technical details about specific products are not really the topic of the article, but I think they're nice to have. I'm thinking we should take a cue from the article for Adobe Photoshop and move the product details into tables, which I think would look a little better than the current ad-hoc prose & lists, and it would leave more room for the prose to discuss the company and its line(s) of business in general. —mjb 02:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The current format was fine when there were just a few products list, but now there is far too much information (and a lot of unecessary duplication of information and general "waffle") CX23882-19
