Now all we need is a SageTV controlled mechanical finger.

[KryptoNyte]

Hmmm. I see it also boasts the 18mbit recording rates that the Colossus claims, and there is a PC connect mode for recording.

The Colossus can do 20mbit

[KryptoNyte]

Thanks SHS. Have to keep an eye on this device. Would come in mighty handy for a Sage/STB situation.

[KryptoNyte]

... and there it is. Someone needs to grab one of these and see what it can do as soon as it's available.

It also on Newegg don't worry soon mine get here I be test the carp out of it I hope I'm able to make it work with SageTV as well because I think it has new hardware encoder and I can't get hauppauge to tell me what it is.

[KryptoNyte]

A couple of unboxing vids. The second vid actually shows it in use.

Both are focused on the gaming side of course, but they do mention the mode of direct-connect to PC. It also looks like it gets power right from the USB input, so that at least eliminates the need for yet another power brick. No IR blaster of course, so you'll have to have the USB-UIRT. Hopefully this device can serve as a nice compact SageTV tuner.

It will be interesting to see how the audio is passed when the HDMI input is used.

That right it pull power off USB bus mine should get here next week

[SHS]

Turn out it look like the Encoder is ITE Tech IT9910 Grabber

[KryptoNyte]

Do you see anything on the official product page that suggests there is a driver for this device? Is it included somehow in the capture software download?

There is it is in the Hauppauge Capture Tool when it install that how I found out what the encoder is hehe.

[KryptoNyte]

Did Newegg give you a delivery date on that thing? It seems like they are quite a bit farther out than other sellers.

[SHS]

No mine coming from Hauppauge them self
Yes it seem odd that newegg is 2 week off

[SHS]

Sorry all you look like we are SOL with this device as for I can tell, it doesn't seem to have DirectShow Interface or it had be done it a diff way which I think may not be possable.

[KryptoNyte]

Please expand on that explanation, and how you tested. It claims that when you save to PC, it saves in TS format.

[SHS]

Yes it save TS file with Hauppauge Capture Tool and SageTV see it as IT9910 Capture Filter (HD) and I Try number of thing but it was not start the device not even in Graphedit.

Here a clip I did with all new HDPVR Rocket just took all night but manage to get a clip up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00rW0JGyyWA

That's depressing - is there anyone else that can give some insight on this, on how to check the test setup, or any potential workaround on getting Sage to properly start the device?

[Slugger]

Is there not a command line tool to capture the video with? If so, seems like a perfect candidate for a network encoding solution if someone wanted to make one of these things work with Sage.
