How do I record satellite?

How do I record satellite television to my computer?

  • We have DISH network and I want to record a few movies and shows onto the computer's hard drive and then to a DVD. Do I need to have DVR to do this or can I do it with just a few cords or a special recording device? Is there a special recording device for this or do I have to plug my computer into the receiver somehow?

If you buy a tv tuner that goes into usb, you probably could.

You would need a Slingbox - check DISH's site - they have promos with Slingbox to get equipment, or you can get them at Best Buy. It broadcasts the signal to anywhere, including your computer. Otherwise, if you get a DVR, you can have DISH enable the USB port for a one time fee of $39.99 and then you can record onto an external hard drive, and then transfer from that to your computer.
