No. Dish Network is encrypted, and there are no devices available to 
decrypt it save their own boxes. The only option to record Dish is 
through analog capture from one of their boxes. The recommendation for 
analog capture is from anything with a built in hardware encoder, 
meaning you're only pulling compressed MPEG2 at 250-1000KB/s, rather 
than raw frames at 15.5MB/s. Your 950 does not have a hardware encoder, 
and should really only be used for digital, either broadcast ATSC, or 
unencrypted cable.
