London, England (PRWEB) May 14, 2004 –- Free DVDs for buyers of PVR and MediaMVP products.

"We are delighted to be able to announce this exclusive promotion for PC owners," said Yehia Oweiss, Managing Director of Hauppauge Digital. "We are recognised as the world leader in TV entertainment for PC owners, with technologies that not only allow owners to watch TV on the PC, but to pause live TV and to schedule recording to disk. With eleven Oscars to date for the first two Lord of The Rings movies, it seems appropriate that we can offer this epic new DVD as the biggest promotion we have ever launched."

The DVD will be free with Hauppauge's WinTV PVR-250 (£129.99 inc); WinTV PVR-350 (£159.99) and MediaMVP (£99.99) products purchased between 14 May and 31 July 2004.
