He's headed down the c++ path now, and MSDN might be a better place to 
discover what can be done with Python and WinTV. A google there has 
proven fruitful, but my friend will have to determine how fruitful. I'm 
waiting for Hauppauge to respond to my request.

His facilities do not allow him to get out to the internet.
