Ive searched for weeks now all over google, but i cant seem to find recent info if its possible to connect a tuner card to record your bev sub. I know it wont have access to channels I dont pay for but wish I could find an alternative to their pvr solutions.

Have you or do you know someone who has connected their pc to their bev dish and can record?

thanks in advance but i have a bad feeling about the outcome

Not digitally. You can record analog component video & stereo audio from any source, with the right hardware.

There are no PC based satelite dish tuners so that you can use a PC as a HD PVR instead of using the one available from Bell Express VU(BEV).

Well, there's this mod to your receiver (http://www.nextcomwireless.com/R5000/home.htm) available, though a tad pricey.
