HDMI Recording Device ?

[systemshark]

Folks,

I'd got a Sky HD Box here in the house. Currently I'm connected over SVideo to the HD box for my recording via Hauppauge PVR 350 Card. Everything is working fine.

But I'd like to get HD recording rather than HD Feed recorded using Analogue Card.

Outputs on the back on the Sky HD Box are only HDMI, SVideo, Scart.

Suggestions ?

Nothing with a hardware encoder. You could convert to component & use a hauppauge HDPVR (up to 1080i)

I tried the avermedia hdmi capture card, and it wasn't much chop with it's supplied encoders.

The only thing I have found is this...Blackmagic Design Intensity, first HDMI PCI Express card

Yes I've been eyeing one of those... but reports on other forums are it's drivers are unstable..... I was hopping not the be the first....

and it's software encoding, so you'd have to build graphedit graphs to have it work with GBPVR

I have heard the codec they use are pretty good, not sure it will let you record HDCP content.

Aver also has an HDMI device but neither will record HDCP content.

The Aver one did allow me to record HDCP content, not sure if it was a glitch in the drivers etc - but it was quite hard to try and get it working outside of their media app, with graphedit etc.
