HVR1400 is expresscard.

HVR1900 is usb2.  HVR1950 is the NTSC/ATSC/QAM version of the HVR1900.
 (HVR1900 is PAL/DVB-T, but can also do NTSC, and other analog
standards)

HVR1900 is the one I am recommending for you.  Maybe the website
you're looking at needs updating -- the HVR1900 has been available
already for quite some time.

Regards,

Mike
