Review: Badly defined model numbers - Due to mix up with their model numbers - the gaming edition was sent in error. It was returned. Hauppauge needs to clarify it's models so the correct one can be selected
Review: Expensive and Weak - HD-PVR 2 Yes perfect unit and was expensive when I purchased it.. but things started to go wrong as usual outside the guarantee period. All worked on this unit set up was easy and then things began to go wrong. Pain in the neck! Blank screen HDMI connection screen states. When I examined this unit and looked closer the Mini/Micro socket on the back that connects to a PC was lose. The cable M/Micro plug at one end and a normal sized USB plug at the other seemed a sloppy fit, moving the plug in the scoket I would get video no problem but then take my finger off the plug and now no video. Who ever decided they were going to use a M/Micro USB socket in that machine needs their head tested, IT's not man enough a totally incomplete unit that really from a design point of view was flawed from the begining. It's not like these units brand new are cheap, but with that rubbish socket its a complete disaster. Stay well clear of the PVR2. Other units will all go the same way mine did. I'm able to carry out this repair but I'd rather not giving the price I paid for the unit brand new. Plus how micro everything is inside it. I decided not to purchase another PVR2 or even buy a brand new one. If anyone is thinking about buying a second hand one I would advise don't do it. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THIS SOCKET.. The unit might work right out the box however the chances are the M/Micro USB plug might be lose in that socket. Should you decide to purchase one of these as new, make sure that the supplied cable you somehow lock it to the case to prevent any chance of that cable being pulled out or even knocked when its fully pushed in. If your eyes not working so well get some nail polish and dab a color on the top of the plug so you don't ever end up forcing the plug into the socket upside down. With my unit there was no need for me to keep un-plugging this lead, mine seemed to just go lose over time? Now the PVR 60 Gaming Edition I purchased this one second hand, and that USB connection socket is the same as a printer type socket that's what I call man enough. This is what the PVR2 should have had, not this stupid flimsy M/Micro USB socket.. In comparison to the PVR2 which basically worked right out the box and had sound, I had nothing but hell trying to set the PVR 60 up with NO SOUND! Well that problem I fixed but it took me ages to find out what was causing this issue absolutely nothing on the web other then the "HDMI cable Just turn it around" Yes as if that works just make sure the HDMI cables are properly seated fully Well the PVR 60 working now but I really want the PVR2 back.. Three things I like about the PVR60 once I got it going.. 1.Printer Type USB connection number is 1. 2.The metal type finish on the top. 3.The red recording light. Hauppauge if you read this how much would you charge to repair, the PVR2? Well you know what they say if you don't ask you don't get so I'm asking... Preferbly someone within the UK nearby. Picture quality everything cannot be faulted but only when the unit decides to work. I will update accordingly and provide some images later. Hope this helps someone out there from making a what could be a costly mistake.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm wanting to use this to record older video games also. Is it possible to record other systems with the component cables? N64 for example.**
A: I looked up the Nintendo 64 online and it looks like it uses a composite video cable for the video and RCA cables for the audio. You're in luck! The Hauppauge PVR 2 has a component video in and RCA audio in inputs on the front of the unit. It also has an S-Video input so you should be in good shape. These inputs will not record in HD however, but I'm sure the N64 does not put out HD anyway.

**Q: I was planning to get this for recording my Wii U, and my computer is a 2012 MacBook Pro - are these two things compatible?**
A: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr2-gaming.html"New model has compatibility for the Apple Macs."

**Q: What is the software required**
A: There is a Hauppauge authored version or arcsoft specifically designed for capturing and editing with the device. It is updated frequently as well with free downloads of the software at http://www.hauppauge.com/capture. It exports in either mp4 or h264 and the raw files can be edited with the provided software or easily transferred to third party editing applications like Adobe and Sony Vegas.

**Q: Does this have to be plugged up to a pc at all times or can i just use an external hard drive in later use a pc or laptop to edit or view**
A: needs to be plugged into a computer at all times, there is a new one that uses a flash drive/external called the turbo or something.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***G on 6 April 2017*

My old AverMedia system quit working so I decided to try this Hauppauge DH-DVR System. I used this system to capture video from my DirecTV Receiver and, using an HDMI Splitter, I was even able to connect my Roku 3 Player to bypass HDCP protection. I thought about giving the Hauppauge 4 stars because it isn't the easiest system to set up, but the performance is so good it really does rate 5 stars. I had to read the instructions several times before I clearly understood the setup procedures. Overall it also took me about an hour to set up. Once you know how to do it, however, you should be able to set up, install the software and connect the system in under a half-hour. The system doesn't come with an installed CD, you must download the software from the Hauppauge web site. It was also a little disconcerting to hook the Hauppauge hardware up but not see any video. You must complete the software installation on your PC before the video is connected. However, once I finished this set, the video popped right in. As for performance, the Hauppauge PVR is all that is advertised. I can now view and capture video from either my DirecTV receiver or from my Roku. The Hauppauge isn't error-free however; I do find that when changing channels on my DirecTV receiver, I see a brief flash of color bars on my screen before the receiver connects to the new channel. This will happen on the Hauppauge since it is connected to the PC. Not a big issue, just something I have to get used to living with. This system comes with several software tools to view input on your PC, plus a special Hauppauge capture app which works superbly (manual and timed record, stream video and a YouTube Link to upload videos). Overall, the Hauppauge HD-PVR does everything I hoped it would and does it well. I don't miss my old system one bit.
