I was looking for a decoder to turn my TV HD Ready (in other words basic digital) HD. I did not even believe it existed. I bought this camera and saying that the miracle was not going to take place! And I was wrong because it works. The HDMI connection between the decoder and the TV allows me to capture HD channels and HD quality. The colors are brighter, sharper edges, which in HD !!! Awesome! Increasingly, USB recorder and multimedia player. TOP !!!
