Avermedia is basically a CaptureCard with a Built in Harddrive.....
you save your clips to the actual Device, then plug it into your computer or something like that

HDpvr you have to use either hdpvrcapture or Eyetv (both programs for mac, i use eyetv) and record using them...

its really up to you, if you dont want your Capture card to HAVE to be plugged into your computer all the time then go Avermedia

pvr vs avermedia quality - i think they are both basically the same, both use 720p/1080i at highest (cause of Component Cables)

That makes me more lean towards avermedia. The picture wuzie posted above are those all component cables ? Or are they different coming out of the cap card. Thanks for all this help btw

The roxio uses the component cables, the standard anyway. You play in HD still, just gets recorded in 480p. I was using an HDMI cable, but I had to go and get the components for it to work.
