Pete H Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've been searching for a device to be able to use the media tower I'm building to record HD to the server, directly from my direct tv box, making the server my DVR and to be able to burn to HD Blue Ray discs. You've got to check this out if you have or are planning on a Media Server. http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdridq Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It converts everything into 1080i, regardless of format? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 That is my understanding, but my main concern was being able to feed it 1080 signal from the sat. receiver box and capture the media directly to the hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laager Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 No HDMI out. Seems a bit pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 No HDMI out. Seems a bit pointless. The HDMI out would be handled by the video cards in the server. I can't find any other device that will allow the direct capture of the HD signal from the sat box to the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
