Review: HDFury3

By TechRadar, published 16-10-2011

The HDFury3 is a clever piece of kit that allows you to get around the limitation of recording HDMI HDCP protected content from your PS3 or Blu-ray player to an analogue recording device that doesn't have a HDMI input, but uses HD component inputs. It also allows you to connect devices that use HDMI to legacy kit, such as computer monitors or VHS players that weren't around when HDMI was invented. At £190, however, it's not cheap, so is it worth the outlay? The size of a cigarette packet, the convertor has two HDMI v1.3 inputs and conventional analogue component outputs, with power supplied by a separate mains adaptor. The device connects as a simple plug-fit adaptor, and converts digital HDMI to analogue component 'on the fly'. The HDMI inputs support Deep Colour and are manually or auto...

Review: Cyberpower Liquid i7 High

By TechRadar, published 08-04-2011

We've seen systems sporting overclocked Core i7 2600K CPUs before. Some, like Dino PC's Evolution 2600K, clocked the chip all the way up to 5GHz. We approved. Cyberpower is the latest to join the grossly overclocked 2600K club, the CPU in this system weighing in again at 5GHz. It's done it in style too, by water-cooling the chip so it stays well within safe temperatures at 100 per cent load. Cyberpower's not breaking new ground, but the water cooling kit looks pretty impressive inside that case compared to the self-contained kits such as the Corsair H50. The advantage this Cyberpower rig has over offerings like the Evolution 2600K and Palicomp's superlative Phoenix Hydro X is the inclusion of Intel's Z68 chipset. It's not a massive deal for gamers specifically, but Z68 has a number of feat...

Tutorial: Complete guide to MythTV

By TechRadar, published 05-01-2011

MythTV is a little involved to set up, but worth the effort. It's more than a TV recorder - its plug-ins add plenty of extra functions, and the scripting interface means that you can do all sorts of clever things with it.We'll look at installing and setting up MythTV, as well as how to use the various functions. We'll also deal with a number of the common questions that arise.Let's start with the hardware. You'll need a computer, a means of receiving TV programmes and some storage. MythTV uses a server/client model. The server is known as the back-end and handles scheduling recordings, transcoding, advert flagging and so forth, while the front-end is the user interface. The front- and back-ends can be the same computer, but they do have different hardware requirements. The back-end needs p...
