Perfect fit for XBOX! in Internal TV Tuner and Capture Cards

I've been looking for a suitable 4K capture device that will allow me to play my X-Box console on my computer that doesn't have an HDMI input for a while and so I can can use the ROKU joystick. On my laptop. Was close to going with Elgato but leaned towards the lower price and coupon. So far I haven't regretted it and I'm glad I didn't spend more. Here is a list of what I was looking for in the map. Something that was plug and play and compatible with Windows 10. Tip. If you plug it in but your computer doesn't recognize it, use the included USB power cable. Different USB ports deliver different amounts of power. I was lucky and my laptop's USB port was strong enough that I didn't need a cable. Something compatible with mainstream and free software platforms. Although I'm only using it for Xbox at the moment, my daughter wants to use it on her YouTube channel, live on Facebook and when she's a little older she expresses her desire to make an online streaming game with voice acting. - Allow me to use my DSLR as input. to create a video. I wanted something that offers 60 fps and does 4K - 1080P. Many others are 30 fps or lower. - It was announced that they do not load the processor. (See comments below.) Items that surprised me after receiving and using them. - Supplied with all necessary cables. You will receive an HDMI cable, a USB power cable, a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 cable to connect to a laptop/computer and an audio cable. (No power cord required for my laptop and use.) - Concerned about freezing after long periods of gaming. This has not happened and the device does not appear to freeze or slow down. I was concerned that my CPU usage would be high when using this, but as you can see in the video I had less than 10% CPU usage when using the Xbox and this was with several other programs, including OBS Studio. - Found FREE OBS Studio software to record your gameplay and screen. (Many other programs charge for this.) - I've noticed that the device does get warm but never gets warm, which I think is normal given the processing characteristics. As with all my reviews, I will update if I come across any issues.
