Capture HDMI input

[MarquisdeOz]

Hi,

is there a way to capture what a Receiver puts out through its hdmi-cable which is plugged in my computer? I don't have a special capture card or anything, just a regular HDMI-port at my laptop.

I think you'd need one of those 'special capture' cards. HDMI was 'made' to be very difficult to copy or capture.
