No problem, do it. As long as the satellite receiver, has the proper connectors.

Keep in mind you will only be able to do that with standard definition channels.
There are NO tuner/capture cards available that can record or display QAM-encrypted pay high-definition channels like Discovery HD, CNN HD, HBO HD, etc. due to copyright restrictions.

Yes, you need the proper cable to connect from your satellite receiver to your video card on your computer
