Are there any tv tuner cards that support HDMI input for Direct TV users????
I've read post after post, but no one seems to know of a TV tuner (usb or PCIe) that supports HDMI input.
I have a USB TV tuner Avermedia Volar Windows Starter Hybrid tuner that was hooked up to standard definition DirecTv box, but recently got a newer DirecTv box with high definition on that set top box..
It does not come out as high definition on my monitor because I believe that since the USB TV tuner device uses a Co-ax connector then that is the highest definition that the co-ax can deliver.
If the DIrecTV signal comes out of the box as high definition 1080i then passes through the co-ax, then that reduces the definition to the level of co-ax (like 480 instead of 1080i) and thus plain-old standard defintion tv.
Is there anything that I can do to get high definition sat tv at 1080i levels on my computer?
