hdmi

I'm working on a new software application that utilizes windows media center to play recorded TV shows in the center of the screen. We can get this to work with standard coax or RCA input TV Tuner/Capture cards. My question is this...

Are there any TV tuner / capture cards out there that allow you to use Windows Media Center with an HDMI input of some kind?
