Verdict

AVerMedia Live Gamer Duo

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful dual-input card for anyone layering a face cam over console footage, wasted money if you only need one channel.

Hauppauge HD PVR 2

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A niche standalone recorder for HDMI/component sources without a PC.
