How to watch HD on PC as a window

I have a 2nd HD box for my computer.  I am able to connect the HDMI cable directly to the monitor to watch with no problem.  Is there a way for me to watch HD through Windows Media Center?  I have an AverTV Hybrid Volar Max, but that only works as an analog input, giving me an SD signal in MCE.

Is this something that can be solved with a different piece of hardware for the PC, or is there a software or setup solution?

Thanks in advance,

J

I do not think any video capture cards (required to view video on a PC) work with HDMI due to copy restrictions (but I couldbe wrong).  You wouod need a card with a component input.  I think Hauppage has one.
