Such a card might even allow the encrypted stream to be dumped to the 
disk and replayed back through the HDMI at a later date (provided the 
DRM flagged that such time shifting was permissible).

It might even be possible to support time-limited replay if the card is 
willing to trust the timestamps that it receives from the incoming 
aerial signal at the time of replay.
