@jrpg0630 Hauppauge Colossus(internal) or Hauppauge HD-PVR(external) are made to use an hd device and captures in HD. They both show up in media center as tuners and setup to record content straight from a cable box. They can also just capture like rvr2 wants to do.
im looking into buying a tv tuner card for my computer build, i have a set top box with surewest that outputs 1080i HD. on all the cards ive seen there is only S-Video or coax inputs- would either of those inputs accept the HD signal? from what ive read the coax cable will transfer 1080i but the box will down convert to standard definition. am i out of luck?
AAAAAAH your pc is so loud!

Get a linux distribution like Ubuntu or Debian etc. I would be very suprised if you could not get a driver for it in one of those OS'es.

@elambing To my knowledge, S-video and coax inputs cannot handle HD signals..
The HD quality will be lost, and will in fact downgrade the quality to standard definition.
To keep your HD quality, you need a video card with an HDMI input from your cable box HDMI output.
Hope this helps..
