Where does this box fit into the whole equation? It seems to be like a middle point between your tv connection and your pc. So it sounds like a hardware encoder. Hmmm.... $250 sounds like a lot of money for this.

Woot got mine order, I can't wait to ditch my HD-Homerun and enjoy all the other HD channels my comcrap cable has...

Wow...finally, I can record all my High-Def ( and SD ) from my HD Cable STB, PS3, DVD, HDV and MiniDV Camcorder and VCR into HQ h264 video !
Also, the included Arcsoft SW allows me to burn AVCHD (h.264+AC3 audio)onto DVDs or BD Disc and play it back in any Blue-Ray Player... very cool ;)

So, $250 buys an external A/D D/A converter w/ no HDD and your PC is also required for the EPG funtionality... Not realy a PVR by its self, but still aluring that it can make use of the 'Analog Hole" for buring disks. Does anyones set top box have Macrovision on the componet outputs? Are the anolaog outputs disapbled when the HDMI conector is being used. Would wnat to know thay before buying one of these.

More than just an A/D D/A Converter... the spec's indicate a HD H.264 hardware video encoder... and PC Capture, Player, Authoring and Burning SW. This is a 1st and the image quality ( as shown as CES and CeBIT ) is amazing. I could not see the difference between the source and the recorded video!

Keep your HDHomeRun for Clear QAM/OTA and use this for everything else...more tuners is never a bad thing.

You know that is a good point. Hot dang I'm excited, hopefully it'll ship soon!

so you need to supply your own tuner...
call me when it has one built in

Call me when the cable/satellite companies all agree on a universal tuner platform.
