Hauppauge HD PVR Review

I have been using the Hauppauge HD PVR for a couple of weeks now, and i can honestly say its a damn handy piece of kit.

If your looking to start recording your Xbox 360/PS3 gameplay footage and sharing them online this is the device you will want to buy.

Very simple to setup,

  • Component cables from Xbox 360 into Hauppauge HD PVR
  • USB 2.0 lead from Hauppauge to your PC
  • Component cable out from Hauppauge to your HD TV.
Install the Software on the CD.

Done.

The Hauppauge only has component inputs/outputs, but due to the PS3's HDMI output acting like an anti piracy device and stopping the signal being recorded through the device, it is not a big loss.

If you are interesting in getting one of these, i would say to get an external 1TB hard drive, if you record as much as I do you will soon notice the files starting to eat away at the main Hard Drive.
