The Hauppauge HD-PVR 2 is a high definition video recorder designed for capturing content from set top boxes or gaming consoles. It supports HDMI and component video inputs, making it compatible with devices like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The device includes SPDIF digital audio support and an IR blaster for controlling set top boxes. It records video in H.264 format, which is compatible with Blu-ray discs, and can capture up to 1080i resolution in real time using a built-in hardware encoder.

The HD-PVR 2 connects to a PC via USB and requires a minimum of a 3.0 GHz single-core or 2.0 GHz multi-core processor. It works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP with Service Pack 3. The device comes with HDMI and component cables, as well as a 9-foot USB cable. It also features no-delay pass through for live viewing while recording. Users should note that some set top boxes may not allow recording via HDMI, requiring the use of component video inputs instead.

The unit’s design focuses on ease of use with straightforward connections and setup. The included software applications, such as WinTV and Hauppauge Capture, allow users to switch between HDMI and component video sources easily. The IR blaster enables remote control of compatible set top boxes, enhancing usability for those who want to manage their recordings remotely. The device is ideal for gamers looking to record gameplay or users who want to archive HD content from their TV services.

Setup involves connecting the device to the PC and the source device using the provided cables. Users are advised to download the recommended software from the package instructions for optimal performance. While the hardware is capable of high-quality recording, users should be aware that Blu-ray burning software is not included and must be obtained separately.
