Abstract: It was CES 2008 where I had a meeting with Hauppauge. I've been using their products in all my HTPCs for the past five years and they have been solid as a rock in every single case. When I heard that Hauppauge was coming out with a product to record hi...
Records HD programming without copy protection concerns (via the "analog hole"). Burns Blu-ray-compatible, high-definition DVDs. High-quality audio and component video cables included.
Doesnt function as a standalone DVR. Complex setup involves multiple software packages. Remote is nonfunctional with bundled software.
Tech-savvy enthusiasts looking to grab high-definition video from various sources—such as a game console or existing DVR—will love Hauppauges HD PVR, but mainstream consumers pining for an easy DVR replacement without monthly fees should look...
When I consider the hodgepodge of loosely integrated software and hardware that make up the Hauppauge HD PVR package, I'm amazed at its refined, high quality HD H.264 recordings. And its ability to burn Blu-ray compatible HD content on to standard DVDs...

Abstract: Die Frage ist durchaus berechtigt und taucht beim Aufräumen des Kellers oder dem Säubern älterer Archive auf: Was passiert bloß mit den betagten VHS-Cassetten, die ältere Filme und private Aufnahmen beinhalten? Vielleicht sind sogar Videos dabei, die e...
As you can see from the photo at the start of this review, the HD PVR Rocket fits into the palm of your hand. Now of course you also need a USB flash drive and the relevant cables, but the most important feature is that you don't actually need a computer...
Clearly the Hauppauge HD PVR won't be everyone's cup of tea. Its reasonably high price, niche usage and software issues make it unsuitable for the regular consumer. However, for enthusiasts with a specific use in mind, this is still a unique and very usef...
