Here's my 2 cents; hope it helps.
Run the a/v outputs (L/R audio and either composite video or svideo - depends on the connectors available) from the DirecTV box to your PC's video capture card inputs. Your video capture card software will then need to capture from it's composite inputs (versus antenna input). This will probably result in an .AVI file in Standard Definition (versus HD) being saved on your computer. Unless your video capture card has component inputs, you won't be able to capture HD from the DirecTV box.
Remote: not sure. Can you program your MCE remote with codes from the DirecTV box remote?
You might want to repost some details such as what video capture card you're using and what software you have. My experience is limited to the myHD MDP-120 card & assciated software.
Good luck! (I hope this post at least helped a little!)
