<div dir="ltr">That's exactly the problem. That's a good idea and I'll probably try it at least until I can switch to something else, but I am more interested in finding an alternative than fixing the HDPVR. It's really old and will break down at some point. I'd rather be proactive and find an alternative before that happens.<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 23, 2017 at 10:49 PM, Stephen Worthington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stephen_agent@jsw.gen.nz" target="_blank">stephen_agent@jsw.gen.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Sat, 23 Dec 2017 22:13:34 -0500, you wrote:<br>

</div></div>I presume the problem with USB 3 is that the NUC does not have any USB<br>
2 ports. So do you have a USB 2 hub you could plug into one of the<br>
USB 3 ports - that might help.<br>
