Can you record Xbox 360 footage with a slingbox Pro-HD or Apple TV to a macbook pro or is there a cheaper way?
Question by lallo188: Can you record Xbox 360 footage with a slingbox Pro-HD or Apple TV to a macbook pro or is there a cheaper way?
I want HD footage, to a macbook pro, this is the best way i found, but my friend said I could do it with Apple TV, is this ture?
Or are their better ways?
Does any one know of a external USB or Firewire that can do the same thing beecause I don't need to watch TV on a Macbook Pro, heck I don't watch TV on a televison anyways!
THANK YOU

The Hauppauge HD-PVR is by far the best option for capturing HD video onto your pc or mac period. It can capture 1080i HD video with surround sound. It is a little pricey however at 8 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal-Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233979101&sr=8-1 but I have 2 of them for doing HD cable on my HTPC and I love it. Although it's pricey it captures really nice HD video with surround sound in H.264 format. Even at 0 its still the cheapest option currently on the market for capturing HD video. It really is your only/best option. Plus it works on windows and Mac. Oh, PS Apple TV does not capture video and I'm not sure if the slingbox Pro-HD software for mac is out of beta yet. Basically go with the HD-PVR you wont be disappointed.

Prepare? You hook your cable box to the slingbox and then to your tv and internet...what is there to prepare?
I assume you want to watch tv when your away from your dorm, otherwise there would be no point in owning one.

First off, you do not even have to connect the slingbox to the TV. The Slingbox Pro HD has a built in tuner where you can just connect the slingbox to a coaxial cable jack. So if there is a coaxial cable TV jack near your router, it's best to place it there. On the flip side, you will only get HD channels that are local. Where I live, CBS is channel 4, so 4-1 will be the HD channel. In order to get cable channels in HD, you will need to connect it to your digital cable or satellite box. You can also use the splitter that it comes with to connect it to both the cable/satellite box and directly to the wall jack so that when you want to watch a premium channel you can do so, but you'll have to watch the same channel as the local TV viewer is watching. When you want to watch a regular cable channel from 0-99, you can do so using the Tuner part. And you can get HD using the tuner if you just want local channels like watching football on weekends or golf on the weekends.
If you are not going to be able to cable your slingbox directly to your router, you can just buy this; http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Actiontec+-+MegaPlug+Powerline+Ethernet+Adapter+(2-Pack)/8913152.p?skuId=8913152&id=1213399954676 This is much simpler than setting up wireless.
