The Hauppauge HD PVR Can Record Pay TV in H.264 High Definition

Recording High Definition Digital TV TV from devices like a Pay TV set top box has been difficult until now.

The recent arrival of the Hauppauge HD PVR in Australia changed all that, after having been available in the USA for some time.

Unlike most HD PVR's the Hauppauge HD PVR doesn't have an internal hard drive. It needs to be connected to a PC.

The inputs of the device are first connected to the Component Video ports of a High Definition Cable or Satellite TV set top box using the supplied cables.

The output of the Hauppauge HD PVR is connected to a PC or Laptop via a USB 2.0 port.

The device converts the HD component video to the new H.264 format and saves the output as a file on the hard disk of the PC.

The resulting file can be played, or re-authored to other formats such as DVD, Blu-Ray, I-Phone or I-Pod
