that's gonna require some high power crunching.  The reason why hd
dvr's can do it right now is because the stream they receive is
already compressed.  They just need to write the stream to the HD.  If
you're going to use a capture card on an hd stream, it's gonna have to
be able to compress 1080i video streams on the fly.  I'm not sure that
if that's even available, that it'll even be affordable.
