Many other posts you have made indicate that you have a 722. This is a DVR unless I am mistaken. If so, problem solved as it does a fine job. Maybe this is not the forum to help you do what you might be trying to do. Just a thought.
Well, that's a disappointing report.
As far as taking up space is concerned, you can always transcode the mpeg2 video into mpeg4. Transcoding will not happen in real time, or anything close to it. But I batch up a number of videos and let my aging PC crunch away overnight for this task.
Your Hauppage has hardware mpeg2 encoders, and I presume (since it has an ATSC tuner as well) that it records or displays HD video using mpeg2 compression. If playback is choppy using WinTV, then I imagine there is something wrong. Either your USB port is not running at high speed, or your PC isn't fast enough to keep up with HD mpeg2 decompression. Does it satisfy the system requirements published by Hauppage? How well does it work playing back SD video sources?
