The only thing with the HD PVR is that you CANT use a HDMI cable so you will need this:

Hope this helps,Happy gaming!

Ok first off, most capture card if not all current cap cards only support component HD cables not HDMI so you wouldn't be able to use the HDMI cable you are using at the moment.

As for connecting it all up it depends on which one you get, but most of them you will need to use your own component cable to connect up the Xbox to the capture device, then you use the supplied component cable from the device to your tv (so you will be
using 2 component cables in total)



Then you plug the capture unit into your computer/laptop with the supplied USB cable, and then you install the software that comes with the device onto your computer/laptop which you then use to actually record whats on your tv screen, so to start recording
you plug everything in, run the software on your pc and if everything is working fine you will see your xbox on your tv and on the computer screen, then you just hit the record button on the software to start recording your gameplay.



Then when you are finished, just hit the stop button to stop recording, which will then save the video to your computer and then you can open that up in the editing software you installed, to either edit it or just render and save to either AVi, WMV or whatever
format you wish to use.



It is worth mentioning that recording and rendering video requires quite a lot of power to run smoothly, if your pc specs are low then when you record the audio and video will keep cutting out and go out of sync, so you will need a somewhat powerful computer
to handle the recording.



If theres anything else you need to know that i have missed just let me know i will try to help.

You would need to purchase a capture card or HDpvr to record your gameplay. Unless you barrow one from a friend?

Let me know if you need any help.

Also I forgot to mention if you want to use a streaming Application you will need an capture card. And it will need to be a high definition card. Best bet HD PVR hauppauge or my personal choice an ElGato Hd Capture Card.
