Do none of the current boards to audio over HDMI?
Theoretically possible. There are ADD2 cards (for Intel GMA) that

As for HDTV capture - if you are not recording Over the air, you are kind of
out of luck. Here in the states we have a law that forces the cable tv
providers to turn on the firewire port on all boxes equipped with them. Well
the cable companies are now ordering boxes without Firewire so they do
