XBMC and Hauppauge Colossus
#1
Question 
Hi,

I would like to know if XBMC is compatible with the Hauppauge Colossus ?

And at the same time should I consider the Avertv HD DVR over the Hauppauge Colossus ?

I want the hook my Set top box (Scientific Atlanta 8300HD) to my computer using the HDMI input or the Component input.

Thanks a lot !

I have the Hauppauge Colossus and the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD which are working well together on W7. However XBMC doesn't directly control the environment (no PVR functionality in main branch). I'm using W7 for the PVR/Live TV part, and using XBMC for everything else (quick launch shortcut in 7MC).

I'm going to try the XBMC front end with MediaPortal backend soon as I would like to stay in XBMC for everything.

Oh, with the SA8300HD you must use the component out as HDMI is blocked for this setup. However I'm getting full output quality as my cable provider only streams 720p anyway.
