ETA on Cable/Sat HD Card
What I really need is a HDTV card that accepts HDMI input, so that I can record my DirecTv HDTV channels. Does anyone have an ETA on such a device?

The Decklink Intensity has HDMI input, but it's completely impractical for PVR since it captures (I'm not calling it record) raw video, and that requires 400-600GB/hr of HD.

The OnAir GT and HD HomeRun can capture unencrypted QAM (cable) and are definitely practical for recording, but limited to "in the clear" channels (expect only locals).

The only "practical" HD recorder solution for cable/sat is an R5000 modded STB.

People are also doing HD over firewire with several types of cable boxes.
