CES 2008: Hauppage Introduces New USB HDTV Tuner With Clear-QAM Tuner

Jesse James had a not so wonderful run in this past holiday season with a sub par USB HDTV Tuner, but Hauppauge has announced a new USB HDTV Tuner at CES that should awaken his gadget lust once again: The WinTV-HVR-950Q (could someone get into their heads that simple product names are better?! my poor typing fingers!)
So what's so hot about the WinTV-HVR-950Q? (oh copy/paste, I <3 you)
The WinTV-HVR-950Q is the first USB stick HDTV tuner with Clear-QAM support, allowing you to tune in to all those nifty FCC mandated local HD channels through your cable connection. My HDTV has a built in Clear-QAM tuner as well, and its been wonderful for tuning in to Heroes in HD without needing a pesky digital antenna.
However, should you feel the need, the WinTV-HVR-950Q also features ATSC (for digital antenna reception) and NTSC tuners (for boring old SD broadcasts.)
And the part that'll make Jesse James happy: full premium certified drivers for use with Vista are included in the box (for all you Vista downgraders.)
The WinTV-HVR-950Q also comes bundled with a credit card sized remote control (I could find no pictures of the remote at the time of writing) and a $99 MSRP.
