    Some of the videostream rates I've had reported from the dec, here in the UK, 
    have been:
    
    4MBit/s, 5.3Mbit/s, 6Mbit/s, 10Mbit/s and 15Mbit/s
    
    These are from QAM16 and QAM64.  I've seen 15Mbit/s on both of these.  How it 
    fits these down USB 1.1, I have no idea.  I'm neither a USB expert or a DVB 
    expert.

Interesting.  Perhaps the Hauppauge web page specification is in error
and it really is a USB 2.x port.  (I am not a USB expert either.)
Have you noticed any incriminating USB-related messages in the kernel
syslog files, either at boot-time or during first use of the device?
