So this would work just identical to the current HD PVR but without the need for the separate box (just install the card into a PC)?

 

[stanger89]

Identical in purpose, hopefully improved like the PVR 250 was vs the PVR-PCI.

Sweet, just dusted off my HD PVR this weekend and would definitely prefer an approach that doesn't require an extra box

It does add an HDMI input (although the feed must be unencrypted) HDCP stripper anyone?

No mention of Media Center compatibility but it sure would be nice.

 

[stanger89]

I believe the HD PVR supports WMC, but there are other great solutions that I'm sure will support it anyway.

Kepp eye out for update on shspvr forum the same link will be update as soon I get the info on some of the question ask here and else where.

Hmm i was about to get a 1212 hd-pvr usb device, but if there is a low profile colossus due out any time soon, this would be better to wait for i guess, so long as it isnt a long wait.

 

[jimwhite]

At least it shouldn't suffer the lockups the 1212 was notorious for...

 

[Smitty2k1]

What do you suppose the power consumption will be?


More importantly, would my Antec-ISK300 with 150W PSU be able to handle it in addition to my Intel i3-530, 2x1GB DDR3 RAM, slim DVD drive, Intel V series SSD?

I sent an email to their tech support.. the one person said he did not believe it was going to be low profile, which is a major disappointment.. he also said it would probably be released January 2011.

about 15/20 watts


markm75 sorry i didn't see your reply and there is no low profile coming

 

[brantmacga]

is it known yet whether multiple devices can be used in one system?


i'd read that the current hd-pvr only allows for one device to be connected to the computer.


will the new card allow for a multi-tuner setup?

 

[stanger89]

You can have multiple HD PVRs in one PC, I think there's someone on the SageTV forums with at least 4 in their system.

oh, ok. well that's great.


i asked because on TGB forums, it has been said you can only have one HD-PVR per WMC machine.

 

[stanger89]

If so, that's probably a WMC limitation, probably due to only one Hauppauge IR blaster working per system. With SageTV if you want to use more than one, you need something like a USB UIRT for IR control.

 

[Serra]

That looks really nice. I've been having good luck with my 1212, but I'm really, really interested in replacing it. This looks like it will do the trick... now, do I have a PCI-e slot??? Hmmm...

That is likely with reference to the native Hauppauge HD PVR Windows 7 Media Center initiative directly from Hauppauge. This is a free beta solution though. The DVBLink for Hauppauge HD PVR solution has multiple Hauppauge HD PVR unit support if I recall correctly. Its not a free solution though. The way I understand it, over at the DVBLink forums, they intend to support the new Hauppauge Colossus HD PVR and will begin development as soon as they get sample hardware.


I have had good luck with my 2x Hauppauge HD PVR units. However, if the Colossus comes with better out of the box Windows 7 Media Center support for free I could see buying one or two. Especially so if the price remains a reasonable ~$159.99.

 

[SHS]

Check out the special $129 offer deal for Colossus only for - our Facebook friends! (do keep in mind that this per-order meaning it will be shipping soon and I'm sure there set limet on them)
