This is my review of model 801e.

bestSVMS May 24, 2010 at 7:33 am

you should split if off though

because this lags
i think its around half second lag
which, depends on the game could mean your dead, if your playing a shooter game

bestSVMS May 24, 2010 at 8:23 am

no
they are encryped
you could cnnect your box to this via the video cables like svidio and sound though
and use your computer like a screen

PCWizKid May 24, 2010 at 8:30 am
