HTPC question

[Orbs]

Is there a video capture card or TV tuner card that interfaces with a digital cable box (so you can get schedule tapings of HBO shows on the 500+ channels) and also records at HDTV resolutions if the signal is broadcast in HDTV?

Thanks!

No, at least not until someone ships a CableCard-capable module you can add to your PC.

With "Rights Management" (which some prefer to call "Restrictions Management") such a big issue these days, it is unlikely that you will see a digital cable tuner on a PC card. You will have to be happy with tapping the output of the settop box... But then, anything that CAN be cracked, WILL be cracked...
