MacBook Pros do not support display inputs from external HDMI sources. The only way to get your home theater/Blu-Ray/Set-top box content on your TV would be to use an Elgato Hybrid device or if you want a 720p/1080i picture, the Elgato eyeTV HD, which can be found here:

No company produces a device that will turn your HDMI output into an acceptable input to the MacBook Pro. This is due to HDCP digital copyright protection for content distributed through HDMI cables.
