I am happy. For those who has a newer high-performance PC opens up the possibility to include HDMI or stream. The requirements for the recording device are (only ?!) on the pack- I strongly recommend to inquire before booking! Win7 and 8 and 8.1 in 32/64 versions on devices with CPU from Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz or AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 3.0 Ghz and a "discrete Graphics Card" are recommended on the box. In my 32 bit Vista PC still managed a shot in a Win8-VirtualBox. Here also the sound through HDMI is received and recorded. You can select MP4 or TS and has ever diverse settings (eg sound via audio input). From a satellite receiver I could take in the setting "On the other PC". An HDCP signal was not me in the test are available. Soon I will buy again a current PC, my 5 years old test PC did not meet the above requirements, namely, therefore it lurched at me and the black part was nice and warm. I assume that in the above-mentioned better recorders everything runs smoothly.
