Whats the point of an HD anything without an HDMI?
My understanding was that you can get only upto 1080i and no true dolby with component.

Why the sacrifice?]]>Apr 4th 2008 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 7th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/i guess you miss the point of this device? using it with an htpc and basically adding a component input to the computer from an hd stb, whereas we've been stuck only with coax/composite inputs in terms of tuners or being able to record]]>Apr 4th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/
I have purched thier hardware befor to use with SnapStream. Since SnapStream re-sells the cards I figured all the parts would work together correctly. So I setup a serious video server using them. I have had 2 of the 500 series dual tuner cards fail (one under warrenty one after) and have had 2 of the USB external boxes fail. (one under warrenty and one after). Contrast that to the HD cards (2) and USB boxes (1) from Divco which have performed without failure.

So forgive me if I am not all that excited about thier hardware.]]>Apr 4th 2008 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/]]>Apr 4th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/
I've been wondering for a while now why nobody makes an HD PVR, even if its just component input.]]>Apr 4th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/
HDMI/DVI has too many HDCP problems. Component is easier as its not HDCP supported. and TECHNICALLY component can handle 1920x1200 so it shouldn't have a problem with 1080p just no sources will output 1080p over component because of the HDCP shit. But its meant for a cable box anyway. Most HDTV cable is 720p or 1080i anyway.

Funny thing is, a mortgage payment for a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath 2700 sq ft house with 15% down is less than my rent on my 1500 sq ft apartment in Philly. Granted I was in the yuppy section with all the my-daddy-bought-my-bimmer popped-collared 25yr old shits but It was a bachelor pad and I lived within walking distance of my favorite bar.

There are HDMI capture cards out there, but they are so limiting, you can't actually use them for DVRs. This device leverages the analog hole so that Cable/Satellite HD boxes can be recorded like they used to be, and nothing on those is higher than 1080i anyways. I plan to do all my recording at 720p, as my TVs are all only 720p.]]>Apr 4th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/
Right now capturing HD to a DVR other than a Cablecard Tivo or the mythical CableCard equipped Windows MCE box is a step above impossible. You can either capture clear QAM via a QAM tuner or HDHomerun, or attempt to capture via your cable box's Firewire port. The problem with Firewire capture is that you're at the mercy of your local cable operator. They are only required to allow access to channels that are already available over clear QAM. Some cable companies enable the no copy flag, some don't. Some boxes work with firewire while others are problematic. Try to tune to an encrypted channel over firewire from your MythTV box and you're lucky if you don't get a segfault.

What this box does is sit between your cable box and your DVR, acting as a capture card of sorts. It takes the component-in feed, converts it to H.264-encoded video (at least that's what I'm told), and outputs it to your DVD via USB. That's it. There's no tuner built in, and it requires your cable box to operate. But if this works it's what we've been waiting for for years - a box truly capable of capturing all HD content from cable or satellite and storing it on a DVR.]]>Apr 4th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/Apr 4th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/hauppauge-hd-pvr-shows-itself-pre-order-said-to-be-coming-soon/

You would think that a simple request wouldnt need expensive hardware thats not even out yet in order to record at its present video quality.

I even have a friggin BR burner (although never used) on my PC but alot of good it does if I cant get the HD content from the DVR to the PC.

If BR burners have been out for a half year now, whats so damn hard about putting out a stand alone recording player....]]>Apr 16th 2008 3:08PM
