    Does anyone know if it is possible for me to use the HDMI-IN on my m17x to use it as a capture card so that I dont have to spend 200$ to get a decent one for my pc?

    Trying to stream HD gaming at 60FPS thru twitch.tv and its too taxing on my PC to do it without a capture card.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Don't think it will work that way. The HDMI in mode makes the screen basically into a regular desktop PC monitor, there isn't really anyway to get the content off. :(
