ok, so i got the blackmagic from ebay, and so far this is what i can get it to do.

it will not play hdmi from the shaw box, or component, but i can get it to display on Composite video/audio.
Which leaves me wondering, is Shaw Component have protection on it? is there any way of bypassing the protection on the shaw box? i have a stupid pvr, i really dont have any intent of recording anything from it onto my computer

also with just the stock drivers it will interface very easly with Media player classic, so even tho its not 1080-720 w/e (yet) this still works quite good for games that you can run in windowed mode, tf2, fallout3, global agenda, all play quite nice with it running.
