Has anyone gotten the twinhan DTV usb device to work with Dish network. I'm new to this. I thought I could run a line to my PC in order to watch tv at my PC.

If that is what you want just run a line in to a video capture card from your DN receiver.

You cannot SUBSCRIBE to DishNet via anything except a DishNet receiver. THere are a couple FTA channels, like NASA and some music that you can receive FTA.

Twinhan DTV (i.e. 102G PCI card) is not a TV capture card and does not work with Dish Network.

Like the other posters said, just get yourself a video capture card and run an RCA cable from your DN receiver to your capture card. Or you could use our TwinHan ATSC PCI card as a capture card. It has Analog and Digital RF inputs.
