Silicondust is working on its own solution for recording copy-once channels on Windows 10 (requires a yearly subscription). Tuning with WMC may be a little more reliable, and WMC is needed for recording copy-once, although recordings from copy-once channels are not portable. NextPVR does a better job handling consecutive recordings on the same channel than WMC. Comcast tends to use copy-once mainly for premium channels like ShowTime and HBO. NextPVR works for everything other than copy-once channels, of which I have found only one in my package so far (MPLEX).
Fewer recordings fail than with the Colossus, and since I'm capturing original broadcast stream the quality couldn't be better. (Obviously this is not a solution for DirecTV.) The Silicondust HDHomerun Prime CableCARD tuner works with WMC and NextPVR. I rent an M-Card CableCARD from Comcast instead of a cable box. I currently use a Silicondust HDHomerun Prime CableCARD tuner for recording from Comcast. In 2015 I returned cable box and uninstalled the Colossus. It may take more than one try to get a good capture from a capture device. Honestly, if you want to use a capture device to make recordings that do not require your provider's equipment to watch, you are still better off if you rent a PVR from your service provider, and re-record. If that isn't done, they don't operate correctly. One annoyance with the Hauppauge HD capture devices is the need to power cycle them every few days. I used the MCE IR reciever/IR blaster or Firewire (my HTPC has a Firewire port) to change channels on my cable box. I already owned an MCE remote + IR receiver/IR blaster. I never used the Colossus' own remote and IR receiver/IR blaster. The splitter will also let you watch TV with the PC shut off. (The TBC can be enabled via a hack, but I never tried to use it.) Either way, you'll still need a ViewHD VHD-1X2MN3D HDMI splitter or another splitter that removes HDCP. The Colossus has a different encoder chip and a TBC for SD analog recording. The Colossus II reportedly has the same encoder chip as the HD-PVR 2 and an HDMI-out (pass-through). I never owned a Colossus 2 and have never subscribed to DirecTV.
At one time (2014) I used a Colossus for recording from a Comcast cable box. On the Black Sea! (Sochi, Krasnodar kraj) Web directory: Russia! (Houston, Texas, United States)Įngine!
