FWIW...HAUP is on top of the SI "HOT" List. It was up over 15 points on Friday.

Re: HAUP, RNWK (?) and Digital PC-TV HAUP should do the joint venture with either RNWK or MSFT (rather than with a portal, TV network or content provider), as de facto standards for desktop digital TV need to be established. If digital cards can be brought down to $199-299, this will jump-start a whole new era. Just out of curiosity, anyone out there own an analog broadcast TV receiver card? That market never really went anywhere. BAM *** From "BusinessWeek's" notorious "Inside Wall Street" column (still, a timely report): Digital TV on a PC A television window in every PC? That's what Hauppauge Digital HAUP, which makes digital video products for PCs, hopes to see. The company expects to reap big rewards from such a move. It is forming important strategic alliances to achieve its goal. One of its products, called WinTV board, enables the user to view TV programs in a resizable window on the PC. This summer, it will also market a digital TV tuner called WinTV-D, which lets PC users receive digital TV. The expected price: $500, vs. the $7,000 that high-definition TV sets are retailing for. Hauppauge will announce a joint venture soon with a large Internet company that broadcasts streaming media programming on the Web, says one New York money manager. Hauppauge is also forming a marketing alliance with a major E-commerce company, he adds. David Jordon, senior vice-president at Axiom Capital Management, says Hauppauge will benefit from the increasing supply of Internet-based digital video content and the rising demand for high-speed digital broadcast receivers for PCs. He expects Hauppauge, now at 12, to earn 60 cents a share on sales of $55 million this year. In 2000, Jordon sees profits of at least $1 a share on sales of $75 million. BY GENE G.
