Recording TV with Component Video
How to record TV
As recording of videos via (digital) HDMI is very much restricted by copy protection mechanisms like HCP, there is the analog back door
- Composite Video is of lowest quality
- Component Video if of high quality and reaches nearly digital quality with HDTV
So I’m looking for video recorders (PVR) with Component Video as AV input.
My Shortlist
Some products need to be connected to a PC,……
- Monsoon Vulkano Blast
- PCTV Broadway T2
- Fantec R2750
- Hauppauge HD PVR (needs a PC)
- AVerMedia TV USB HD DVR
- Technisat DIGIT HD8-C
