Such cards exist, but are not supported by Myth AFAIK. These cards are VERY 
epensive, and designed for professional systems.

Not sure, but probably, at least for "premium" content.

The only one I'm aware of is ther Hauppauge HD-PVR-1212. This is supported in 
trunk, and will most likely work when 0.22 comes out. This is probably the 
only practical solution at this time or for the foreseeable future.
