Yes, and they don't always even work. Very unreliable and poor quality, HD PVR or alternative solution recommended... coming from someone who has past experience with both Smile

Yeah, but I personally recommend you don't buy it. If you have to though, you have to.

HD PVR, Blackmagic, anything else HD tends to be more reliable as it will come with a greater price tag.

I've never heard of this Blackmagic. Is it like a HD PVR? Because a HD PVR will not run on my laptop

It's a HD PVR that does 1080p, so no it won't run on your laptop LOL /facepalm
