    I have a friend with directv HD and she has been looking for a way to capture HDTV. She looked into capturing with an HDMI PCI card but that looks really expensive. So is it possible to capture with an ethernet cable her box has one in the back of it so is that possible? Just looking for a cheaper way for her to capture. Also her box doesnt have firewire so that isnt a possibility so if anyone know please help.

    It would be possible if DirectTV wanted you to do that but alas, they don't and you can't.

    BTW, HDMI won't work either due to HDCP.
