I got a little box that converts HDMI to RCA composite video and audio. It's powered by USB and not an AC adapter, which is neat. I'm going to use it to capture non-HD video from my PC on a DVD recorder (things too important for my lovely screen capture program to screw up), but it will also be useful for hooking my laptop and tablet into any old thing that lacks HDMI.


I approve.



I have a similiar looking thing without the logo and the piece of poo poo does nothing.

Man, I've been looking for something like this so I can hook up my Playstation TV to my kitchen television (a portable Salora from the early eighties) now that I've no use for it in the living room anymore (i.e. I played through Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on it) but all the ones I've looked at are like four times that price. :tipshat:

e: Oh, according to the reviews it's utter poo poo.

You may need something like a hdfury to setup the HDCP encryption type thing on the hdmi cable, otherwise you may not get a signal. That one will probably just decode the signal straight from HDMI to svideo and not provide HDCP.

Well according to the reviews of people who got the odd functional specimen, it works (when it works) with PS4 so it should work with a PSTV :shrug:

PS4 lets you turn off HDCP though, if it's that.

Apparently the show sold out in 30 minutes and they had to add a second date because it was so popular. I really lucked out by getting in when I did :v:

Does this have a glow in the dark skeleton on the back? I'm pretty sure I had this exact shirt when I was around 13.

Probably not, I think that might have only been for the originals. Would be dope tho.

Hah, I picked up a 45' USB camera similar to that to scope the plumbing in my house. I don't know if they're similar in any way but mine's actually pretty decent for the ~$25 I paid for it. Very flexible cable though, makes it almost impossible to push down a pipe with any bend. I need to get some proper stiff pipe fishing... thing
