Besides not being terrestrial, DirecTV transmits a DSS signal which is proprietary and used by nobody else.

It is possible to get the stream to your computer by altering a PVR receiver to use a removable drive carrier for the hard drive, and then removing the drive and reading it on a computer, but you still need to have software that will read the files and in the case of Dish Network I think it's their own proprietary format so it would probably be illegal.Īccording to the brochure for that Hi-pix card, the only type of digital signal it can receive are ATSC compliant terrestrial streams. Pretty stupid when you consider how many people (like me and I'd guess both of you) would pay the extra receiver charge to be able to capture the stream on a computer.
I'm sure that's not going to change as long as they can get people to pay extra for it. Right now the only way to capture the stream is to get a PVR receiver for your service and pay the additional monthly fee. In the case of DirecTV it's even worse, since they use their own proprietary MPEG-2 stream, so none of the existing stream capture cards could even read it. There are cards that will read the Dish Network streams, since they use DVB, but only a handful of channels are unencrypted, so you'd also have to have some kind of hardware that could read the card from a receiver and decrypt the stream like your receiver does, and if there are any of these made I haven't found them (and they'd be illegal since Dish Network doesn't want to give licenses for them).
