I posted on another forum about using an Denon AV receiver to do this, via HDMI output to an HDMI capture card (at 480i since I don't want any upscaling baked in). The card cost me around $85 I believe, while the receiver was several hundred bought new. The lowest-end in this particular line now sells for $100-200 used, but apart from cost you'd have to consider that it's a power-hungry bulky box. I happened to be in the market for a new AVR so that wasn't a concern for me.

I'm still curious whether smaller video processing devices like the DVDO Edge include any sort of TBC on their analog inputs. I did some reading up on the chips purportedly used in some of them but couldn't find anything beyond vague mentions.

The biggest downside of this setup is that you're limited to the proc amp adjustments that the vendor happens to allow in their menu system.
