[mythtv-users] Component Video?

My desire is to feed my RPTV with a single component video feed ...

I figure I'll want a receiver that has the component video feeds needed for
my DVD changer, Xbox, HTPC and can upconvert my s-video sources (Tivo, vcr,
etc)

Now, I also wany my mythfrontend to "alpha superimpose" itself when I'm
interacting with it.

So, I figure I'll need to have the HTPC running mythtv, get the component
video from the receiver, and then output component video to the RPTV.

The question is then ... what card(s)would I need? I see component out from
cards, but capture?

I don't plan on using the HTPC for tv capture (the DirectTivo is the SHMBO
preference), but a card that can capture could be used for final processing
(MythTv UI blending, line doubling, etc).

It *is* still mythical to me ... any help appreciated.
