I bought mine for more but directly from Hauppauge, no benifits at all apart from knowing you got it from the official place and that it maybe newer models then the ones they selling on play.com
I had a lot of trouble setting this crappy box up, took about a week to setup, you maybe be better off getting a cheaper one becuase this one is suppose to be capable of recording 1080 but everyone keeps saying record 720 even the officials, just save your money and get a cheaper one .
