The device I use is a Hauppauge HD PVR. It's an external device, plugging in via USB. It was $300 when I bought it. It accepts Component video inputs and records up to 1080i. There is another well-known HD capture device called the Blackmagic Intensity. It is an internal PCI-E card that captures via HDMI. As far as I'm aware, it is also around the $300 price range. These devices offer similar functionality, both capturing up to 1080i, the difference being the interface. The HD PVR captures analog signals (Component) and the Intensity captures digital (HDMI), but the results are nearly identical.
