Hauppauge Colossus vs Comcast

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Does anyone know if Comcrap encrypts their HDMI ports on the cable boxes?

I am looking at getting a Colossus PVR but in the product description it says the following; "Colossus also has an HDMI input port, so you can record HD video at up to 1080i from a un-encrypted HDMI source.
Note: most cable and satellite TV set top boxes encrypt HDMI output, so you cannot record from these sources."

So I would like to know if this is the case with Comcast and if so if it can be bypassed somehow?

Yes, at least Comcast in my area does encrypt. I use the AVer capture card, I can view with the HDMI but I can't record. I have to use component video.
