How do I capture HDTV signal?

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Any way to hook up my HDTV to my computer? However that woudl require composite/s-video cables?

Clarification: I want to record HD content but I have no way to do so, and so would connecting my TV into my computer allow me to do a video capture?

Your HDTV doesn't have a dvi or hdmi input?

Ok so basically I want to capture the stuff onto my computer, like record a football game...

I can't do that right now, so I'm wondering if its possible to output stuff from my TV to my computer and then record like that.....

It's like running a HTPC? Except this is no HTPC. I'm just going to bring my computer home to watch the Nov 18th games =]

Composite/S-Video = 480i max resolution. I believe there is one PCI-E Component capture card for under $500 now, but that's about it. There's still no easy (and inexpensive) way to capture uncompressed HD video streams to a computer at full resolution...
