Hauppauge has added a page to their web site with detailed specifications for the upcoming HD-PVR, a new box that will be able to capture 1080i video from a component source. Hauppauge says the unit will be available May 1st, but despite earlier rumors that a pre-order page would go live soon, there's none to be seen yet.

Here are some other interesting tidbits:

Compresses video in real-time using the H.264 codec, with constant and variable bit-rates ranging from 1Mbps to 13.5Mbps
Format recordings so they can be burned to Blu-ray discs
Record at 1080i, 720p, or VGA resolutions
Comes with IR remote control and IR Blaster for changing the TV channels on your set top box
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM support
Requires a PC with a dual core CPU and at least 256MB of graphics memory for playback of high definition H.264 videos

Oh, and the HD-PVR has a model number now. It's officially the HD-PVR 1212.

Does this mean I can hook this up to my HD TIVO and transfer HD shows to it, and then burn Blu-Rays of those shows on my PC?
