" ...  This handy little gem lets you capture video from a DVR set-top box . ... It gives you the convenience of a VCR, but with digital video sources. ... You can also choose to capture full-HD (1080p) or HD (720p) video. ... Add an inexpensive S-Video-to-HDMI converter (bought separately), and you can convert your old home videos from a VCR or camcorder into MP4 files before they deteriorate into brown dust -- or you can't find a way to read them anymore.  ...  "

" ...  I particularly appreciate the dual HDMI inputs and the ability to connect a composite video source, although I have yet to use that option. ... I agree with other reviewers that it would be nice to know the amount of recording space and time remaining on the connected USB device - maybe add that feature in the future?  ...  "
comment
" ...  I would add though that the 16GB USB Drive provided with the device is too small - it really should be at least 32 GB for recording a 2 to 3 hour show at highest resolution and bit-rate, where I am finding files sightly above 20GB. ... It's nice that the device comes with a USB drive, so you're not left out in the cold for recording shows.  ...  "

" ...  The included Toshiba 16GB USB 2 stick records any 1080p at 10 Mb/s just fine. ... It'd be better if it had USB 3 so you could plug in a 2.5" disk without an extra power adapter (as you need with USB 2).  ...  "

" ...  What I HAVE been using this device for from the moment it arrived is importing family videos. ... Video is as clear and crisp as the original quality, I've had ZERO problems with audio/video latency even in captures of more that 2.5 hours, videos are recorded in H.264 and can thus easily be viewed on a variety of devices, and as long as you take two seconds and actually follow their directions (update the firmware, be patient and wait for all of 15 seconds after you stop recording for the device to finalize the video before you unplug) you're golden.  ...  "
