That's a HDMI capture device. The one you've linked takes a HDMI signal, compresses it, and provides it over USB2.0.
When digitalizing VHS tapes, generally one doesn't have a HDMI signal to use. They either have Composite (typical) or S-Video (better, but rarer). Typically, one should get a Composite/S-Video to USB device rather than trying to add a Composite/S-Video to HDMI device into the link here. Adding more pieces that you don't have control over tends to result in more issues and/or worse capture quality (due to extra filtering/compression steps applied).
Devices like the "Hauppauge 610 USB-Live 2" and "Elgato Video Capture" (I'd use the Hauppage device personally) provide a Composite/S-Video to USB 2.0 adapter that can provide uncompressed video.
In Israel you were used to be required to provide your equivalent of ssn upon purchase of a tv setm, so the gov would be able to charge you public tv fee. the fee was finally abolished couple years ago.
Most (maybe all?) CGMs need to be calibrated regularly with finger pricks. In fact in the case of both the Dexcom G5 (haven't known anyone on the G6) and Medtronic Guardian sensors they can occasionally sort of derp out and ask for multiple calibrations in a row for utterly mysterious reasons. I just asked and my partner says the most times she has had to test to get a Guardian sensor back to normal was seven times in two hours.
Of course this is anecdotal, but the point is that your mileage may vary.
Apparently there's a problem with the Guardian transmitter that causes the multiple calibration requests. Minimed is taking orders for free replacements: https://info.medtronicdiabetes.com/bgcheck
I switched to the Dexcom G6 though. It's amazing. I'm using it with open source closed loop pump software for iOS called Loop. There's also a Linux based solution called OpenAPS.
Dexcom 6 doesn't need to be calibrated anymore. Well, it still needs the first calibration when you insert it, but none other than that. Lasts for some 2-3 weeks before sensor needs replacing.
The Dexcom G6 system does not require any calibration, insertion is remarkably pain-free, and it lasts for 10 days. I've had it for a few months (after a couple of years of using the G5 system) and I can't imagine living without it.
The way I see it in the field, older doctors are less likely to try and keep terminal patients alive as long as possible and more likely provide just palliative care. You know, instead of intubating 90+ y/o elders that won't get extubated until death.
