[mythtv-users] Dish Network receiver hookup to a MythTV box with Hauppage PVR-250

[Erik Pettersen]

My vote is for door number #3... svideo and stereo RCA audio from the
Dish Network STB to the PVR250's corresponding inputs.  (I assume you
already have the pvr250 as you reference it specifically?)

You'll want/need an IR blaster so that LIRC/MythTV can control the
Dish network receiver/STB automagically without your intervention ;)

re: #1b you can't really take the satellite signal directly (bypassing
the DN STB) with the pvr250... You could hypothetically do it with a
FTA DVB Satellite card like the Nova-S BUT (and it's a big but!)
there's no legal way for you to identify your DN subscription and
decode/descramble/decrypte the Dish network satellite HENCE the need
of  the dish network receiver and re-encoding the analog output via
PVR250 inputs *phew*.  (hopefuly that ramble doesn't confuse the issue
too much for you)
