I have connected the HDPVR to my Xbox and PS3 and recorded some game play in my laptop (VAIO vgn-z591u), it was really nice HD video and good audio quality.
One advice before recording from any system change the video settings to be ether at 1080i or 720p. Not 1080p because the HDPVR doesn’t support it.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RHL5555JGBFH7 Just an example of quality obtained from this product. Its definately the best device on the market for recording from an xbox or ps3 but it is very expensive, another product on the market that should be able to provide similar results for much cheaper is the pinnacle movie box HD (released 1st march) but i do not know of anyone using it currently.

I use the HD PVR to record video games. It works very well but you need a good computer to record something ok.

An awesome piece of equipment and does exactly what it says it would!
My only problem is, if you have an integrated processor, the HD clips WILL lag in Vegas.

If you’re planning on using it with Linux (specifically MythTV), then there’s a few things about it.
Firstly, you will almost certainly need to upgrade the firmware – this needs to be done on a Windows machine. I tried it with a Windows VM, and it didn’t work. Note that you do need to reboot the Windows machine after the firmware update to complete it (I was hoping to take a shortcut).
Secondly, I’ve seen that the colours are a little bit washed out on MythTV. This might be the HDMI -> Component converter I’m using, but there are meant to be controls for it in the Hauppauge unit. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to make any difference (I’ve got a slightly different approach to try though).
Apart from that, it does work at HD resolutions (up to 1080i), which is fine for me.
