AVerMedia Announces External Digital Video Recorder at Computex

AVerMedia has announced the AVerTV Box PVR at Computex. This device is able to perform all the usual digital video recorder functions, such as pause live TV and record TV while watching a recording. The device doesn’t have its own hard disc drive, but is instead designed to connect to an external USB HDD up to 1TB in size. Unusually, it can also record video from external sources, allowing archiving of TV programmes by using its composite video input. While the AVerTV Box PVR doesn’t support HD or have a HDMI socket, it does sport what AVerMedia call “3D Y/C separation technology” to improve picture quality.
