Hi,
first off I love the forums, esp the DRM topics :)

Now..I dont know if this is the right forum, but...Is there any way to record a HD stream from a cable/satellite source?

Pretty much...Can you record a HD signal from component video signals or HDMI?

I know HDMI is probably out of the question b/c of encryption, but is there any tool to record HD using component?

I found this, does anyone know anything about it?

It HAS to be possible, i mean there are rips of HD movies and shows from cable channnels online.

Thanks

Thanks, I guess the Hauppage HD-PVR is the only thing that can do what I want it to. Too bad its $250.
