is their anyway I can get this working? I have dishnetwork and the sat box has 2 coax cables going into it and 1 hdmi out. How would I get this working on an HTPC with a tvtuner/capture card? I have an htpc with pcix ports availble

edit: I would like to be able to record the HD signal

it's tricky. first you can try a dvb-d tuner card.

however, some boxes scramble to image so it cannot be recorded.

what model is your dish box?

my motorolas never allowed me to record onto a capture card or tuner card.
