[QUOTE="T-BILLIONS, post: 984516, member: 140852"] [b]Thanks for your reply. More questions though.[/b] Thanks heaps for a quick reply. :) I guess the best way to describe what I think we are both after here is something that can be incorporated to a HDMI based entertainment system - now personally I'd be happy with my recorded gaming to be in HD it doesn't have to be FULL HD 1080 but if recording the game means I have to give up actually playing the game without use of my HDMI leads then I'm not into the suggestion. I have read about the [URL="http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html"]Hauppage HD PVR[/URL] and also the [URL="http://www.blitzcast.com/blitzcast_products.html"]Blitz Box[/URL] my only concern is what I've mentioned just above, as they both use componet cables and dont have the option for HDMI... :( I wonder though if I did this if it would work - Hopefully you or someone else here is able to tell me... :) 1st step: Get a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMJLQC/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]HDMI Splitter[/URL] - Connect this into the back of the PS3, I would have now obviously have two HDMI plugs from the back of the PS3. 2nd step: From the 1st plug connect as per previous set up. (Mine goes from the PS3 to the amp then from the amp to the T.V.) 3rd step: From the 2nd plug connect a [URL="http://img.alibaba.com/photo/224980004/hdmi_to_rca_cable.jpg"]HDMI to Component Cable[/URL] (if this would work skip step 4) or if that wouldn't work Plug a HDMI to HDMI lead into a [URL="http://www.tvcables.co.uk/images/items/component-to-hdmi-converter.jpg"]HDMI to Component Converter[/URL]. (Please let me know which would be needed to make this work) .................................................................................................. 4th step: From the HDMI to Component converter connect Component to component lead into the Converter and the Hauppage HD PVR / Blitz Box or whatever recording device you choose. .................................................................................................. 5th step: From HDMI to Component cable plug component leads into the Hauppage HD PVR / Blitz Box or whatever recording device you choose. 6th step: From HD PVR / Blitz Box or whatever recording device you choose connect to your PC / Mac. Would this work? I've also noticed that Blitz make a Wireless version - what are any disadvantages it could have? eg. Might be lesser quality, lag - ect. if any... Thanks heaps for your reply - Im really excited to find a cheaper alternative to my previous post as that is actually a commerical grade piece of equiptment... LOL.. ;D P.S. I hope that all made sense. :) [/QUOTE]
