The original poster asked, "How to capture/record video from HDMI." (dish network hdmi in my case) Thats what I want to know.
One posters answer; "Just 2 steps.

Step1: Download screen video capture software and install it

Step 2: Adjust the settings if needed and click the Record button. If you have finished your recording, stop it, save the file and watch the playback."
That doesn't work for me.

It seems I'm switching away from my computer when switching monitor from vga to dvi in this case. But nobody said, in later posts, that wouldn't work... so I thought I had something wrong.
The problem is that desktops and laptops usually come with HDMI out only, so you can't use it to get video on your computer. If you can't get any video, obviously you can't record video from screen.

Capture cards and standalone recorders like Hauppage HD PVR usually come with software allowing you to record video with audio on your computer.

Most probably HD content from Dishnetwork uses HDCP, so you will need to record video using component cables. You may need an HDMI to YPbPr Component converter.
