USB HD card for HD DirecTV signal?
I have SAGETv, and just got an HDTV flatscreen and DirecTV HD receiver.

Does anyone know of an external USB device I can use to get the HD signal into the computer using either HDMI or DVI cable from the satellite? Most HD cards I see for sale are intended for use with antennas w/ free HD signals, and don't have HDMI or DVI inputs.

Also, if I can get the HD signal to my computer, is SAGE capable of recording the signal in HD quality ?

Thank you, and sorry if my questions are naive.

Jeff

Nope.

Closest thing is an R5000 mod from Nextcomwireless.

Recoridng uncompressed HD (ie DVI/HDMI/Component/RGB) is NOT trivial, nor inexpensive, and USB does not have near the bandwidth for it.
