TV Tuner Card

Anybody found a tuner card that will use a Cable Card? I'd like to set up a media computer to connect to the plasma tv but would also like to be able to record HD programs from the upper end of the cable range without having to use the cable box.
 
As far as I know, they don't exist. Anti-piracy paranoia, plus forcing people to pay for STBs. As I understand it, even TVs with cable card slots do not always have full access to paid programming, depending on TV and provider.

My Samsung HD will decode some of the channels that come through Comcast HD.... it picked up porn a lot.

That's what I was finding, just hoping that the infinite knowledge of JUOT might have found something.
