Capping from Virgin Media V+ HD box

hi
looking for some help

I am trying to find out the best method of video capture fro a Virgin media V+ HD box. I have done some searching on the net and i think i need the following items.

Hauppage HD PVR
HDMI to Component converter
HDMI splitter

If i am correct in my assumption i am trying to find out how i would connect to V+ box and then onto my PC ?

V+ box is a Samsung
Pc is running Windows 7 Home Premium

any and all help would be appreciated on this or any recommendations of a better method

thanks in advance
