    @DJparsons89 It doesn’t have a video out like seen on the Hauppauge HD PVR, but this can be solved with some RCA splitters. Just get 5 from bestbuy or something fro $1 each and split the source video/audio and run one component cable to the EyeTV HD and another component cable to the TV.

    @Ca800se Yes it will work with any component game console. The trick is since this device doesn’t have a video out (like the HD PVR) you have to buy 5 RCA splitters (only like $1 a piece) then just spit the source video and audio and run one to the EyeTV HD and one to your TV.
