I'm looking for peripherals on hooking up Dish Network to my PowerMac G5 in HD format. I'd like the ability to record HDTV to my 500gb ext hdd.
I've looked at Elgato and others, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for--they don't offer any solutions for satellite HD. I think a set top box that processes the signal (freeing up my G5's processing power) would better suit my needs, so I can watch on one screen while working on the other.

Can anyone offer any suggestions for hardware vendors that can provide this solution?
Many thanks.
