Recording Help Please..........

I have bought a few peripherals in hopes to record my Xbox 360 footage @ 60Hz. None of them have worked. Im now hoping i dont have to buy a new capture card for my MacBook Pro, and instead use my eyeTV device. The device i have is a Terratec T2 USB 2.0 DVB-T, all it has is an antenna input.

So my question is, has anybody ever recorded anything off the same device other than TV, or if anybody has any ideas of how i could go about recording Xbox 360 footage on the device.

Thanks in advance for your time guys,
Hearny

Hey Hearny,

I have the eyeTV 250 and have used it to record various inputs. Here's what I would suggest. It invloves a few purchases, and I don't know what kindof quality you will get but it will be much cheaper than buying a new capture card.

First, you will need to have two outputs from your 360, one to go to the tv, the other to go to your eyeTv. The reason for this is that there will be a delay on the signal going through the eyeTV, so you will have to play on the tv while recording. Many video splitters are available that can accomplish this. The video splitter will probably give you an output in something other than coaxial/antenna, so you will also need to buy a converter to convert one output from the splitter to coaxial. I have an RCA to coaxial converter, so I know they are available, I'm not sure if other ones (s-video, component, etc) exist, but i'm sure options are available. Just make sure that you buy two units that will be compatible, so that the output of the 360 matches the input of the splitter, and the output of the splitter matches the input of the TV and the input of the coaxial converter.

Let me know if this works or if you have any other questions.
