</div><div class="Ih2E3d">> How does it connect to computer. USB?<br>
<br>
</div>I'm reading the same info you are, but it looks like yes, USB. It<br>
doesn't store anything on the unit itself as was suggested by a previous<br>
post on this thread. It takes in component video, real-time compresses<br>
using h.264 and spits it back over the USB port.<br>
<br>
It's got optical audio in port for combining with the component video in<br>
the process.<br>
<br>
It also has an irblaster port for changing channels on a STB and another<br>
set of component outputs presumably for hooking directly to your TV so<br>
you can view the video without it being captured/compressed, but still<br>
passing through the device.<br>

I guess that leads to the question could you control it via the USB port (if it is a tuner), or is the USB strictly for sending data TO the computer it's connected to? <br>
