- the BOMB, Baby
- cheap way to get 1080i video and AC3 5.1 audio from ANY source (satellite box, ps3, dvd player, camcorder) onto a hard drive via a USB connection. I used this and a 1.5tb drive to turn my PS3 into a movie jukebox.
I have not used the timer recordings or remote, hav not needed to.… More reviews
- Funtional device, but not without problems
- I bought this box because I save lots of sports events, and I wanted some way to capture and keep them in high definition.

It seems to have just died, although the power light was on.… More reviews

Well this is almost like that , the box has hd component inputs (and outpus for passthru) with an internal processor to convert the video straight to avchd out… More reviews
