The HD-PVR 1212 Component out does not trigger HDCP restrictions. Technically, the HDMI should give better image quality, but both give greats results with 1080 cable sources.Ĭable/Sat HDMI with HDCP is no problem. The newer HD-PVR2 adds HDMI 1080p recording.

The older HD-PVR only has Component input, but still 1080i HD.

I have been using them for years to schedule and cap programs using only the software supplied by Hauppauge. I have both the original HD-PVR (model 1212) and the HD-PVR2( model 1512). Not sure if the people above actually have ever used the HD-PVR and obviously do not know how to use it. Lately I have found some other, newer products that are pretty impressive. I have used various Hauppauge boxes for several years and continue to use them. One important note: the HD-PVR2 via HDMI does not deal with HDCP. Since then the output files mostly work fine with VRD-for me, at least. The Hauppauge driver situation was a bit of a mess until a year ago, when they released the (still current) driver. It's a different sort of product from a Tivo. Hauppauge Capture does have a recording timer to shut things off after a specified interval. As you might imagine this is hugely inconvenient, which is why many rely on third-party apps. > I assume it has an option for timer recordings.Īmazingly, Hauppauge Capture, the native Hauppauge application, has no provision for scheduling a recording Not only that: it cannot be started from the command line. There are some quirks, but it is relatively easy to use.
