My first post folks..but I've been hanging around doing some research. Great information here.
What I'm trying to do is capture (and save in a usable format) recordings from my DirecTV receiver. DirecTV has a horrible design that if your receiver fails and has to be replaced for ANY reason, all recordings are lost..even if they are on an external drive. The recordings are encoded to a particular receiver and you can't show them on any other receiver. I could go on forever on how stupid this is and how they could protect themselves some other way, but that's for a later discussion. What is relevant is that the equipment they sell is junk. I am now on my 4th receiver..with the previous 3 failing. So I've last a lot of recordings that I wanted saved. And they flat won't repair your receiver..it's replace only. And you can't buy parts as far as I know. But I digress.
DirecTV has a software program that allows you to watch what you have recorded on your DVR on your PC. It's called DirecTV2PC. I have installed it and it appears to work fine so far. My current video card supports HDMI and that is what I'm using to my monitor. My question is, do you think it would be possible to split off this feed somehow to a capture card and be able to save my recordings? I don't know if HDCP would have to be stripped, but I would assume so. I also don't know if audio is being sent along the HDMI cable to the monitor. Right now, when I play a recording on my pc, audio is being sent to my sound card and to my external amp. But could they strip the audio from the HDMI? My initial thought is it's on the HDMI cable as well. But I don't know for sure.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Steven from Los Angeles, CASteven records Tennis matches on his DirecTV DVR and he would like to copy the video files off. Leo says that's called digital video extraction and television broadcasters are paranoid that people will pirate those recordings. But there is an exception called the analog hole. This is where Steven would put a recorder between the DVR and the TV itself. He can't do it via HDMI, though. That's still got HDCP copy protection. But the red/white/yellow composite or red/green/blue/white component connectors will allow him to do it. He may also need an analog to digital converter. And the DVR has to have those analog outputs. If they don't, then he's out of luck.
This HDMI to Composite video splitter automatically strips out HDCP copy protection, so this is an option as well.
