Schedules? Who needs them? What with Sky+, Freeview PVRs, Freesat PVRs, BT Vision and the multitude of online services, such as the BBC's iPlayer, long gone are the days when we were slaves to the TV schedule. Going by the name alone one would assume that...

Clearly the Hauppauge HD PVR won't be everyone's cup of tea. Its reasonably high price, niche usage and software issues make it unsuitable for the regular consumer. However, for enthusiasts with a specific use in mind, this is still a unique and very usef...

As subscribers to Sky and Virgin can attest, it's too easy to fill your set-top box with recorded TV. With the arrival of HD boxes the hard disks have grown, but so have file sizes; replacing the hard disk yourself can void your warranty or contravene...

An effective way to export HD content from an HD set-top box, but it's far from elegant and a touch pricey too...

HD PVR Rocket records video game play from PlayStation, Xbox and PC gaming systems in high definition resolution up to 1080p using H.264 video compression, and here is our review.The most notable feature of the Rocket is that it functions independently of...

As you can see from the photo at the start of this review, the HD PVR Rocket fits into the palm of your hand. Now of course you also need a USB flash drive and the relevant cables, but the most important feature is that you don't actually need a computer...

If you are like me then you would give up most every other piece of electronics in your house before your Digital Video Recorder (DVR). I was thinking of this the other day, I would seriously give up my microwave oven before my DVR. My wife, on the oth...

The way that we save, catalog and digest television, movies or other forms of media is vastly different than ten years ago, or just even five years ago. DVR services like TiVo rose and fell in popularity over the years while the DVR technology made i...

Overall, the PVR is a solid performer for just under $200 in price. It’s simply a question of your needs. If you are happy with your current DVR and don’t feel the need to watch content on other devices, you are probably fine with your existing setu...

Hauppauge is no stranger to digital video capture; it has been around since 1992. With its HD PVR tuner, though, it's promising something special: a simple recording box that can capture HD video and transform it into H.264 video usable just about anyw...

ArcSoft software okay, but unexceptional, IR blaster slightly tricky to set up.
If you’re looking for an HD video capture device , the HD PVR from Hauppauge is a good if straightforward choice. The retail price of $200 is more than fair for the video quality the device produces. Our chief complaint is simply the effort needed to m...

For years, I have been trying to find a HD recorder that can not only record any Cable/Satellite show, but also one that would allow me to record my dad's old VCR movies onto the computer so that we can optimize them to today's standards. I am always...

Exploiting the Analog Hole HDMI is vastly superior to the high-definition connectivity solution of yore, which relied on one of two types of digital cables for audio and a second, well-shielded, three-gang cable for component video. Unfortunately, HDMI...

Simple connections; easy to use software; very good image quality.
Generational loss in video quality; relies on the “analog hole,” which might be plugged someday.

The Hauppauge HD PVR allows users to record HD content off a cable or satellite set top box to their computer’s hard drive, and from the recordings, create HD quality DVDs for their personal media libraries. The HD PVR is one of the only mass marketed...

If you are looking to use this as a replacement for a DVR, you may want to think again. In attempting to use the HD-PVR to do un-attended recordings, it was very finicky. It dropped out 20 mins into an hour long recording, and I don’t know why. Th...

Ever since the DVD media came into our lives, leaving the aging VHS standard behind, the option to record our favorite TV shows disappeared. It did not return until years later, when the first standalone DVD-R units came to the market, first through DV...

The Hauppauge HD PVR is without a doubt a very capable product with many possibilities. The included software from ArcSoft is rather complete and allows the user to record audio and video and to convert the recordings to other formats. Hauppauge has do...

It was CES 2008 where I had a meeting with Hauppauge. I've been using their products in all my HTPCs for the past five years and they have been solid as a rock in every single case. When I heard that Hauppauge was coming out with a product to record hi...

Media extenders havent been selling well lately. Thats likely due to their complexity and high prices (at least when compared with low-end desktop PCs, which offer so much more). But Hauppauge may have released what people have been clamoring for...

Records HD programming without copy protection concerns (via the "analog hole"). Burns Blu-ray-compatible, high-definition DVDs. High-quality audio and component video cables included.
Doesnt function as a standalone DVR. Complex setup involves multiple software packages. Remote is nonfunctional with bundled software.
Tech-savvy enthusiasts looking to grab high-definition video from various sources—such as a game console or existing DVR—will love Hauppauges HD PVR, but mainstream consumers pining for an easy DVR replacement without monthly fees should look...

To label Hauppauge's Model 1212 silver and black box an HD PVR (high definition personal video recorder) is a bit misleading. When I think of a PVR or DVR or even a VCR, I visualize an all-in-one unit that includes a tuner, a timer and a hard drive or...

When I consider the hodgepodge of loosely integrated software and hardware that make up the Hauppauge HD PVR package, I'm amazed at its refined, high quality HD H.264 recordings. And its ability to burn Blu-ray compatible HD content on to standard DVDs...

So I had a chance to play with Hauppauge’s HD PVR and while I am a huge TiVo fan, I never have purchased a Tivo because I could never justify the $599 for the HD Version and the $130 a year for the service. But I always wanted a DVR, because I have a b...

Let’s quickly get something out of the way; the Hauppauge HD PVR isn’t a PVR in the strict sense.Most PVRs – or personal video recorders – plug straight into a broadcast TV signal and feature their own built-in storage so that you can schedule and reco...
