Not to throw salt on the wounds, but my HD-PVR hasn't locked up in... well in at least four months. And when it did I think it was related to the cable box itself. So there have to be some good ones out there - like the one I have I guess.

Yeah, mines been fine for a few weeks too. Not sure if it's the electrical tape I put over the IR window (finally got out of denial and tried it), or the fact that I got an R5000 and it decided it better shape up

In my case, it really seems to be that the HD-PVR doesn't like something in the video or audio signal that it's getting. So, as you said, I think it's either related to the cable box itself, or (I think more probably) something the cable company or network is sending out. My lockups are actually somewhat reproducible, or at least predictable, in that the only time they occur is after a movie ends on STARZ, but before it's time slot is up. And, perhaps even more interesting, they only seem to happen on the SD channels, not the HD one. It seems like a lot of the problems people are having are related to HD-PVR sensitivity issues. It really shouldn't go into an unrecoverable state when there's a problem in the video/audio stream, when video drops down to SD resolution (or goes back up to HD), or when audio switches to or from Dolby 5.1. Based on the number of people that have had to lock resolutions, or use stereo audio, it seems like the Hauppauge HD-PVR has some room to improve. The sensitivity problems are arguably problems with set-top boxes and cable/satellite systems, but these quirks are probably to be expected, and IMHO Hauppauge should do a better job of handling them. I really wouldn't care if every once in a while my HD-PVR locks up and I lose 10-30 seconds of a recording. But, I hate that when it locks up I lose all HD-PVR recordings until I notice the big red exclamation mark and can get home to power cycle the thing. Maybe I'll try that next! |

Per a news release I read about the Avermedia USB HD DVR (emphasis added)....

I wonder if it allows overlaying on top of the Decoded audio. Sage does have the capability for UI plugins for devices such as this.. though of course, someone would have to write it (if sage didn't).

If anyone has specific questions about the new AverMedia USB device either post them here, DM me or e-mail me with those questions by Monday. I have an interview set up with an AverMedia rep and hope to get more details on it

Here are some suggested questions. Someone might already have the answer to some of these, particularly the IR blaster ones. And, maybe you can think of a more diplomatic/appropriate way of wording the question on HD-PVR lock-ups.

Since the deviceis USB powered, how much draw can we expect from a laptop? But more importantly, how extensive has the testing been? Since we know that not all USB hosts are created equal, is this device able to get enough juice from any weaksauce USB port?

Actually, I think there's been some confusion on these threads about how this device is powered. The press release says that this is a self-powered device. That means that it uses its own power supply. If it took power directly from the USB port, it would be called a bus-powered device.

engadget had an article on this a few days ago with pics. You can see the back with power cable from a brick. Looks pretty much like the HD PVR connection wise but with what looks like an HIDM port to me.

I am still confused by this because the only reference to HDMI is:

Not much confusion i don't think. It seems to have not just an encoder in there, but also a decoder that can output the recorded video out to a TV via HDMI. They question would be, then, how it's exposed to software, and of course... why you would choose to do that.

That's why I am confused. Why WOULD you choose to do that?

That would only seen helpfull if you could stream recordings back through the Aver device and then to your TV (which may be the case). I don't think I would want to be doing that at the same time I'm recording an HD stream from the Aver box.
