Anyone use this? I just bought one. It started eternally booting and would never finish booting. A video on youtube told me to put it in the freezer. No really. That worked and it booted up. So then I did the first thing Avermedia said to do: update the firmware before using the software. The update failed. Tried again as instructed and the update froze. Now the unit won't even power on. So...

  • Is this thing really just a POS? Or was I just unlucky?
  • What else is recommended, that works for PS3 and is likewise expected to be compatible with PS4?

I don't really care about consoles older than the 360/PS3, but the thing might as well be as future-proof as possible for whatever I may decide to use it for down the road. That's why I went with the LGP, but finding out my problem is common enough for 1200 views of a video telling you to put it in the freezer...well, I'm feeling justifiably concerned. Niche tech is such pain in the ass.
