My setup is exactly how this tutorial shows. I think its a problem with the Hava it looks like it is constantly restting itself, all the lights come on then 3 of them stay on then the power 1 will stay on and 1 will flicker then the power and ready will stay solid for liker 2 seconds and then the ready 1 will go out and power only stays on, my xbox 360 works with this just the Hava wont connect to my PC.

Wayne what is your set up?

As for my question has anybody had the problem were your playing while the 360 is connected to the hava and when something flashes or an explosion happeneds or something like that the have cuts out and makes the screen go black for like 2 secounds? If so how do you fix it? Or is there even a fix?

2 questions, 1. my 360’s setup in living room with Ethernet cable run to my router in another room @35 ft. I have @100Ft of spare ethernet cable could I use the Platinum and run another 35ft of cable to the router or will it cause degradation of the video. 2. I have a DVD recorder in the same room as my 360, can the Hava be setup to output HD and still output SD on say the s cable directly to my DVD recorder, I know it doesn’t make a whole lotta sense but just wondering.

I was wondering if you actually needed RGB phone couplers because I can’t find them anywhere in stores. If I were to use regular (Red, Yellow, White) couplers, will it take away from the qaulity?

Hi,
I was wondering if the two triple phono couplers have to be one component and one composite or if they can both be the same, im confused on the triple phono couplers….

OK! Got It! Thanks a lot man! I’m gonna order one of these ASAP!

Great site BTW!

Do you update all of your HQ vids to some kind of server? Because I am thinking of starting a site similar to yours

Sam: Yes, that’ll work. All wireless routers can function as a wired router Although you’d still have to connect the component cords to the Hava in order to record off the Xbox 360, as the recording won’t take place via ethernet from the Xbox 360 to the wireless router.

Okay thanks! But let me clear this up for the record

Lets say I wanted to record off my laptop with an external hard drive attatched via usb.

I had an ethernet cord hooked from my laptop to my linksys wireless router

I had the 360 hooked up to the wirless router as well

Would this work?

Scott: The Hava is only 420p comatible, as in that it records up to 420p. However, you can passthrough and play in 1080p on your HDTV just fine, as long as your component cord is set to HD.

There are no models with HDMI, the Xbox 360 has HDCP, so even if there was HDMI recording capabilities, it wouldn’t be possible because of the HDCP DRM.

Yes you can run it to the receiver first, then to the TV.

Sam: As long as your laptop has Windows installed, yes it’ll work fine. You don’t have to be, but it’ll work with a wireless router, or with a wired router. The laptop does have to be connected to the router for local recording, otherwise you can use remote recording, but the recording quality will be much lower as it’ll be grabbing the feed from the internet and not your local network.
