They do exist, but no, you probably can't record  from a directv reciever
(which is what you meant by DTV, I presume.  DTV usually stands for digital
TV, FWIW, and there are more than a few DTV HD boxes/cards that are 100%
compatible with myth).   The HDMI standard supports a copy protection
protocol that all HDMI devices must implement,  and presumably anything
coming out of the directv box will be of the "don't copy me" sort of data.
