I want to be able to use my computer that is hooked to my projector as my tivo if you will. Is there a card out there that will accept an HD signal besides over the air? i want to be able to use my cable box into my computer to watch and record hd tv. Is this possible? is there some sort of restrictions from the cable company? doesn't seem there would be since you can use a tivo. thanks for any help

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
HD pvr?

i don't even care about being able to record hd content i just want to be able to watch it through my computer if i can. it seems if you can use a tivo with your cable companies box then there should be a way to do it with a computer right? the tivo is pretty much a computer anyway.

Yeah... with a lot of proprietary parts/software.jmyler said:
A Tivo is a closed system so there exists the possibility of adding things like HD content and CableCARD support to them because the manufacture has control over how it all works.
With a PC they (Hollywood) don't have that same amount of control so they want to force broken DRM control schemes on PCs for the "privilege" of view real HD content.... and then they whine and complain that no one really wants HD content cause adoption rate for it so damn low.
Anyways it might be worth looking into getting an HD Homerun: http://www.htpcnews.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24437
