It would sit between your cable box and your TV to record the stream from the HDMI cable. I haven't tried this but was considering this for our users group(s). I could record any presentation (Windows / Mac / Linux ) with no software to install on the presenters machine.
It might work for your scenario but you could only record what was played to your TV.
