Today, they use Ethernet instead of RS232. Basically for wealthy people who have integrated smart home systems.

Ive read that Capture4Me and Gamercap work with it but theyre made by the same people who made Capture (NextPVR i believe) so im a little apprehensive about spending $20-$30 on something thats gonna have the same problems or other issues( inb4 i dropped $150 on what is slowly becoming a fancy glowing paper weight ). what i wanna know is, is there software out there that works with the HD PVR 2(GE) without taxing my computer too much(Capture when not recording uses about 33% of my processor, when recording its over 50% without any other programs running) and that can produce videos without any problems i.e one that i can import into adobe premiere, add my commentary and render without spending hours of editing. Ive posted here in the past about my problems with Capture( thread is here: ) and the problem persist. Ive been using Hauppauge Capture to,well, capture game play footage from my xbox and im getting pretty frustrated with it(and fed up with Hauppauge in general).
