What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo.

After trying various cables, configs, and boxes. I narrowed it down to this box. Not sure what killed it, whether it's just old, or that it's been powered on for over 5 years straight. But its long service will never be forgotten in the hours of Netflix and Disney Plus it passed through to my recorder.

I don't want to spill the beans on what I'm currently using since I don't want it to be patched. But I can tell you what I use to use before my current config. Since apps and devices have updated to a point I found better ones.

I use to run an old Samsung Tablet with USB C video out and one of those Amazon bargain bin tablets with HDMI.

Once this bad boy strips the HDCP any old HDMI recorder can record the signal. At a time I used the Elgato HD60, but I've moved on since due to HDR content causing it problems.
