Best way to get Directv HD signal to my PC?

Hello porn people. I have directv and have wanted to upgrade to the elliptical dish for quite some time now to get HD. The TV I watch most often is fucking up and since I intend to buy a bad ass TV to replace it I thought I should go ahead and upgrade the DTV at the same time. Well, now I'm thinking I would like to be able to capture the signal on my pc as well. I did it about 6 years ago but the file sizes were huge and the quality was very mediocre. Of course, that might have been because I used the out of the box settings on the capture card (yea, I didn't know what I was doing- that hasn't changed).

I have my Tivo paused now and this shot looks perfect. I want that kind of quality on my pc. I want to take a screen shot or a video if I want (btw could I play back stuff from the tivo and it still be HD if I buy the right receiver/PDR combo?). I want it to be fucking convenient after it is all setup. I'm willing to take plenty of pain upfront though.
