AverMedia USB HD DVR – Capture Content via Analog Hole
By Mike Garcen | Published Tuesday, 02 February 2010

Our friend Brent from GeekTonic.com got a nice interview completed with the folks at Avermedia, makers of various tuner capture cards. Main point of discussion is their new capture device eerily similar to the one Hauppauge has had out for a while. I was hoping to see a lower price point than $199, but am hoping it's released with something to make it a clear winner over Hauppauge--maybe native MCE support, which Brent is skeptical about (and I am also).

First, there is no Optical audio in or Optical audio out. This is a biggie for some as it means no 5.1 audio. But if priced right this might not be a huge deal really. I confirmed with AverMedia that this first generation of the device will only have stereo audio. Secondly you’ll note the HDMI output. At first this seems a strange addition as it doesn’t record from HDMI. But it will allow you to connect the device to a TV with HDMI inputs.
