Answer 1

  Send a copy of your question over to the computer and internet section - perhaps the hardware section- and see what happens. I have a VERY strong feeling that someone over there has done the same thing that you are trying to do.

Your Tuner card can only handle over-the-air HDTV signals from an antenna.

Your Dish network is a Sat system that uses microwave signals which are totally different.

Who on earth told you the Dish receiver would feed your computer tuner card?  In fact - a lot of the HDCP copy protection is designed to thwart you feeding a computer/recording device from a High Def source.  

Go buy a cheep UHF antenna, hook it to your tuner card and have the software scan for signals.
