Dish Network VIP211 connected to PC, simple question

[MagickMan]

I just want to watch, and maybe record, HD from my VIP211 on my PC. What kind of tuner or capture card/box am I going to need?

I'm not really concerned about remotes, just watching the channels.


thanks,

Would something like this work?

That's pretty much the only way you'll be able to record HD on a PC for anything resembling a "reasonable amount of money".

At least it was last time I checked. Unfortunately, if you search around, you'll see it also has some issues and virtually no support.
