I hate to point this out to what should be a technically sophisticated 
group of people, but: you do NOT record off of your TV, to record TV 
programs, you need either a tuner, a set top box for cable, or satellite 
receiver, that has an output for recording.

So, I don't see this as a technically related issue -- you can add a 
separate box connected to Ethernet to transmit the signal to be recorded 
to your computer.  Or, you could just run the HDMI cable to the computer 
but you need somewhere to plug it in.  It is possible that HDMI to 
Ethernet bridges exist.

Next problem; DRM  It is quite possible that the output from the tuner 
or etc. will be encrypted and you won't be able to record it anyway. :-(
