Answer 1

I really don't understand your question, but looks like you have a satellite set-top box. You can only decode satellite signals using your set-top box. I doubt your PC tuner can decode it and I am pretty sure the TV tuner CAN'T decode satellite signals (most can deal with cable).
So, the best you can do is take the output of the satellite box and input that signal to your PC's input video card. Assuming it is not copy protected or the PC ignores copy protection, then you should be able to capture that signal.
