Hey guys, I'm back! I bought a Timeleak HD72A and its given up the ghost. I have an Elgato game capture HD had I want to record HDCP encrypted content in 1080p. I bought one of these: -HD-MINI-HDMI-to-HDMI-AUDIO-Video-Converter-Decoder-Adapter-Remove-HDCP-KEY-Agreement-Audio/1851608529.html and was sent a defective item. I had to file a dispute with my cc company just to get me money back. Does anyone know where I can buy a HDMI splitter that strips HDCP from a reputable company that ships to Ireland?
Well I bought a 4 way HDMI splitter from a firm in Cardiff and output 3&4 are unprotected. I actually spoke on the phone to check this. Then I bought an Avermedia Game Capture HDII. My requirement was for a stand alone device which did not need a computer. It takes an internal drive up to 2 Tb formatted as NTFS. It saves as mp4 with rates of 10,12 and 15 Mbit/s. It also allows you to up load TS to YouTube but I haven't used this feature. You can also put in an external harddrive. I am not interested in Game Capture so I then bought an Avermedia Ezrecorder which was much cheaper through Amazon at 79 - it is also standalone but does not have an internal drive but does allow for timed recordings which is what I missed - it also allows rates up to 20 Mbit/s. My Sharp AQUOS TV plays mp4 directly from the Harddrive.
Something else comes to mind - when I was backing up my Sky box a lot of the stuff was in SD. I want to copy this as SD to a DVD from an HDMI output. The DVD only has an RGB input (I guess analogue). You can get HDMI coverters to VGA, Composite (rubbish) and Component YUV (digital RGB??). Has anyone seen an HDMI to RGB converter???
Update (3 Feb 2015): I bought and tested the Oppo-BD103, and it failed. Not only did it not decode the audio, for some reason the HDMI splitter wasn't able to successfully strip HDCP. Didn't bother to do much investigation as to why not, because I'm at the point where I believe I need to give up on using my Mac for this solution and buy a PC with capture cards that will do what I want.
my nVidia System Configuration Panel is showing it as "Silicon Image, Inc. HDMI TV" Screen, but i somehow believe, that the timeleak hd70a "only" supports D-Sub - Analog Video-In as Input?..because it shows me everytime a BlackScreen on Honestech HD DVR 2.5.
using internal Audiostreaming function - has been checked, because when i disable it, i cannot start recording, i get an error message, but when it is checked i do no receive the error message just a black screen when recording.
Is that correct? Because if this is true, then i am in a whole lot of trouble, because my Mainboard does not work with IGFX, because my CPU does not support it, so i can "only" connect with my nVidia Graphics Card.
First i thought, it is because i have my Monitor connected via DVI-D Port & the Audio Signal cannot be transmitted, so i bought today a DVI-D to HDMI Adapter which i already plugged in, but i still do not have Sound while Capturing?!
Thanks for working it out here, GameofThrones. Many of us who want to set up such systems appreciate knowing how others resolve the usual unexpected problems. (And please post a screenshot or two to demonstrate the quality you're getting at your various settings.)
Thought I would add my experience. My main criteria was for a stand alone system - it was just too much bother to use a computer. I started off with a 4 way splitter where at least outputs 3 and 4 were non-hdcp. This came from a firm in Cardiff. I then got (on recommendation) an Avermedia Game Capture HD II which has facility for an internal drive up to 2 Gb and an external one as well from Amazon UK. This goes to 10 to 15 Mb/s. An hours prog produces an MP4 file between 4 - 8 Gb at 1080/30 - I then found the cheaper 79 Amazon UK Avermedia EZRecorder 130? which is the same but does not have an internal drive port - it goes to 20 Mb/s and has a timed recording facility which is really useful. The same remote works for both.
All this allows me to archive my SkyHD box in HD. And other HD streams as well. With USB 1Tb USB3 drives coming down to 35 it is cheaper than using DVDs or Bluray discs and both my TV's read USB MP4's directly.
Thanks for sharing! I like the thought of a stand-alone recorder and the idea of hard drives as final storage. Still, hard drives crash (and with such a BIG mess) more than I've noticed recordable discs going bad (and with a much tinier loss).
* Would the cost of a 2nd drive to mirror each 1st drive, and the time to do that after each added capture, be worth it to not save/master each new capture to a disc?
* How about the splitter, which other models seem to "work" during only limited production runs? Would you (or anyone) know if your brand/model is still "HDMI-useful" in a present day purchase?
* Do you capture 5.1 audio?
* Is there faculty for fast & frame-accurate editing to neatly trim the ends off and/or attach title cards to captures?

i would really appreciate your input and your help guys, this would mean the world to me, because if it is illegal capturing TV Shows & Movies, then i will not do it anymore, simple as that. (then i am hoping for a Blu-Ray Release soon :-) )
BUT it still comes back. I don't subscribe to either of these. The above method is from a post on thinkgeek from 2017. I cannot find anything here or anywhere more recent & cannot get to any kind of phone support from Roku the company. The screen just has the little circle spinning forever. Any hints to call a real person? Thanks in advance. This has been going on for months now.
Check if the shortcut button on the remote control is stuck. Try removing the batteries from the remote and see if the issue still occurs. Instead of simply hiding the channel, would it be possible for you to try removing it completely, especially since you do not use it?
We do not have either of these channels. Never subscribed. Unless Roku put them in there for us to subscribe as click-bait? This didn't start until the Fandango/VUDU merger. It's a full-screen ad takeover of the tv! That's why this is so frustrating. We just changed remotes & have one in that room without the VUDU button. .It's an older one, has Netflix, Amazon, 2 other app buttons. I will also check to see if removing is possible, since there was an option to hide but not sure why it is there to begin with. Will monitor & report back. Thanks
Thank you for following up and providing additional information. It's understandable that you're frustrated with the full-screen ad takeover on your TV. In any case, it's great that you've changed the remote and the new one doesn't have the Fandango/VUDU button. Checking if removing the channel is possible is a good idea as well.
this is happening again. The remote does have the button. we have done the battery removal & it did not help. We are NOT subscribed to Vudu/Fandango & do NOT want it. The logo screen takes over the whole home screen interface. This is maddening. Can we get a remote without the vudu button? I am not sure that's the issue but we could try it. What else can YOU do to remove this problem? I just bought a new ROKU tv last week & have not installed it yet. If ROKU cannot solve this problem I will take it back.
As I said, we DO NOT subscribe to Fandango/VUDU. It's an ad that takes over the screen & whole interface & we cannot access anything else. We have to turn off the whole thing for an hour or so & hope it does not come back. But it always does. We cannot use the Roku tv at all for hours due to this. Please give me a phone number for tech support. We must fix this asap. None of the chats here are helpful, we need to speak with a live human.
Have you tried restarting your Roku device to see if it helps? We recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power > System restart. (If you do not see the Power submenu, skip to the next step.)
Sure, you could invest in standard and 4K Blu-ray discs, many of which have Atmos soundtracks, but streaming is the future of home video. The good news is that the number of streaming services that deliver Atmos has gone up in the last year, and now there are four: Netflix, Apple's iTunes, Walmart's Vudu and Amazon Prime Video.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound format that goes beyond the 5.1-channels of Dolby Digital to add "height" channels for improved realism. Atmos is a competitor to atmospheric format DTS:X, which has much less disc-based content than Atmos, and no streaming support (yet).
Do you need it? Like most high-end formats, the answer is an emphatic "no." Standard Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound delivers an awesome experience, and even a good pair of stereo speakers or a basic sound bar is enough for many people. But Atmos-capable hardware is getting more affordable, and in some cases the extra height effects and atmospherics can be really cool.
