AVerMedia Turns Your PC Into a DVR
Posted in: dvr, Today's Chili
Why get a separate DVR when you already have a computer? That’s the idea behind the just-released AVerTV HD DVR. This PCI Express card lets you record high-def video from your cable or satellite set-top box with two HDMI inputs. Use the included software to schedule recordings, and use the included dongle to input video from component, composite, and S-video connections, as well.
While the card records 1080i H.264 video, it does so at a 320-by-240 resolution, so it isn’t right for playing back on a big screen. The company is billing it more for use with portable devices, such as the iPod, iPhone, and PSP. Gamers can record their game sessions and post them online, and anyone can burn their recordings to DVD. The card works with Windows 7, Vista, and XP computers. Pick up the card from AVerMedia’s site for $99.
