I've heard that some cards have the HDTV capabilities? Is it those x800 with VIVO? Any help would be appreciated.
 
HDTV tuning probably. Where you can plug an HDTV cable into the vidcard or something. sorry for the noobness of this question. like tv recording capabilities.
 
Add to the above that any tuner card will be over the air broadcasts only. As far as I know due to the various different standards within the cable industry and the way the HD signals are transmitted / decoded nobody makes a HD tuner card that works with cable.

Thirty seconds with Google turned up these: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/hdtv-cards.html

Both seem to claim to support on air or cable.
 
Seems to me when I spent those 30 secounds reading the specs that they only support over the air HD and regular or unscrambled digital cable.

Yup, so you may be able to get your HD local channels through cable, but you won't be able to get things like ESPNHD, DIscoveryHD, HBOHD, etc.
