Technically speaking

The WinTV-PVR-500 MCE can record to your PC’s hard disk full screen video (full D1) from TV or an external A/V source, at data rates from 2.5M to 8Mbits/sec (Media Center supports 3 standard profiles).

The video can also be played back to the PC screen while recording, so you can pause, rewind and fast forward live TV.
