From a screen shot using Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones in Chapter 46 "Master Yoda",
using a Dell Inspirion 8200 with USB 1.1 the image quality was OK at best. While the setting was at
the lowest 320x240 pixels you can see from the screenshot below the picture was very pixilated.

This is a screen shot from the Philips DVD player into the TV Box at 640x480 pixels, screen captured into a bitmap from
the Honest Tech TVR software.
This is PowerDVD screenshot. I did my best capturing the same frame at the same point and time. With PowerDVD,
you can see the contours of the lightsaber, but with PowerDVD, the colors seem to be saturated and the set top DVD
player provided the true colors of Yoda.
Also, for those interested in capturing something from say, your satellite dish or cable TV onto your
computer, there are some settings to choose from.
You can choose the screen resolutions from 320x240, 352x240, 640x480, and 720x480. Quality settings are Normal,
High, and Highest. Encoding speeds are Fastest, Fast, Normal, Good, Very Good, and Very, Very good.
There are many choices such as a schedule (you must provide the time and channel for the show), that
the software provides that definitely qualify this device as a PVR.
