Brian, I've been using a Canopus ADVC-100 A/D converter to capture
video directly from a satellite receiver into iMovie. It has both
S-video and RCA inputs. I bought it after several people on this
list recommended it. Here's its web page:

Canopus offers a line of products with slightly different feature sets.

   >Dish Network tech support says it can't be done, of course. 

Just curious, what was their reasoning, if any? :-)
