I also use the ShowBiz to record internet HD video that can't be downloaded. Strangely, they also give you Arcsoft ShowBiz v3.5 which works great for recording "On Demand" cable. Hauppauge does supply their in-house "Capture" program for recording, but it has always been a buggy attempt to copy Arcsoft's ShowBiz and is still a work in progress. One splitter HDMI out goes to a tv for viewing and the 2nd HDMI goes to the HD-PVR, which is invisible to HDCP, but gets the same signal to record. With the HD-PVR2 1512, HDMI from your cable/sat box is fed to a HDMI splitter which tell HDCP there is a "display only" device connected and HDCP decrypts the signal. The HD-PVR 1212 Component out does not trigger HDCP restrictions. Technically, the HDMI should give better image quality, but both give greats results with 1080 cable sources.Ĭable/Sat HDMI with HDCP is no problem. The newer HD-PVR2 adds HDMI 1080p recording.
The older HD-PVR only has Component input, but still 1080i HD. I have been using them for years to schedule and cap programs using only the software supplied by Hauppauge. I have both the original HD-PVR (model 1212) and the HD-PVR2( model 1512).
Not sure if the people above actually have ever used the HD-PVR and obviously do not know how to use it. Lately I have found some other, newer products that are pretty impressive. I have used various Hauppauge boxes for several years and continue to use them. One important note: the HD-PVR2 via HDMI does not deal with HDCP. Since then the output files mostly work fine with VRD-for me, at least. The Hauppauge driver situation was a bit of a mess until a year ago, when they released the (still current) driver.
It's a different sort of product from a Tivo. Hauppauge Capture does have a recording timer to shut things off after a specified interval. As you might imagine this is hugely inconvenient, which is why many rely on third-party apps. > I assume it has an option for timer recordings.Īmazingly, Hauppauge Capture, the native Hauppauge application, has no provision for scheduling a recording Not only that: it cannot be started from the command line. There are some quirks, but it is relatively easy to use.
