If your receiver has HDMI http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007MWE1E/?tag=tec06d-20

If your receiver uses A/V http://www.buy.com/prod/vga-svga-to...er/q/sellerid/23962916/loc/101/212966741.html

usually any TV tuner will accomplish what you want. Issue with dish network is a scrambled signal, you need the box to unscramble each channel. Essentially the box runs the channels, the TV tuner handles the input signal. You can spend like 20-30 on a USB input tuner, closer to 40-5- for a PCI-e input tuners. Hope that helps.
