Hello YTtalk,
I am interested in posting gameplay onto youtube, like Call of Duty, Fifa, Skyrim, Minecraft e.t.c. I also would like to buy a Capture Card. I was looking at a Hauppauge HD PVR, but then I realised that it doesn't support 1080p (which is what my TV resolution is)! Can anyone recommend a different capture card that supports 1080p, produces HD quality (like the PVR) and works with a Windows 7 Dell Laptop?
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks!

So will the HD PVR still work with my 1080p TV? I have a HDMI cable if that makes a difference. I have researched and everyone seems to suggest that the PVR won't work with a 1080p TV?

u would have to get the component cables...it can record in 1080p but I think 720p would do just fine! :)
I own an HD PVR as well...

Thanks a lot! Do I need any additional cables to make the HD PVR work with 1080p?

So just to clarify, the HD PVR Gaming Edition comes with ALL the cables needed to record from my 1080p TV? I don't have a 720p TV. The HD PVR will work if I buy the gaming edition with my 1080p TV?[DOUBLEPOST=1343994512][/DOUBLEPOST]I really need to know- Yes or No, will the HD PVR record my games on the XBox from a 1080p TV?
