1. Captures Component Analog HD video via a STB.<br>2. Encodes it in H.264, 1080i<br>3. Send to computer over USB port<br>4. Computer saves the file.<br><br>There is also an IR blaster that is used the change channels of the STB. This is no different than the PVR-150 IR blaster, just connected via USB.<br>
<br>Linux support: Hauppauge has said it will be supported in linux. There has been some sample video released and playing in Linux. As of now there is no driver that can be installed so its still in the air (as far as will the driver be community developed or released by Hauppauge.) <br>
<br>THATS IT! no storage or any other crazy idea like that. JUST AN ENCODER!<br><br>Mitchell<br>
