How Can I use Dish Network with Windows Media Center?

I have been using Windows 7 for a very long time and I really want to use Media Center to be my DVR solution. However, I cannot seem to find any information on how to use Satellite systems with TV tuners in pc's.

Please recommend a Tuner and then give me some insight as to how it can be set up.

Use Dish Network with Windows Media Center is on hold.

-quote-

"You read that right, there is no official announcement, but we've received a number of tipst letting us know that Microsoft and DISH have pulled the plug on the DISH Network Tuner for Windows 7 Media Center. We could care less about one of our predictions being wrong, but we are deflated about the fact that all the testers say they were shocked to get the news as we are because the beta seemed to have been going so well. No word on if the entire partnership is dead or just this iteration of the tuner, but the bottom line is everyone who contacted us doesn't believe we'll see a HD tuner for DISH Network for Media Center any time soon. Sorry to get your hopes up."

It was unfair to choose no best answer
It's not fair not to select best answer, because I just answered the truth about the matter with regards to the media center. The person asking the question should expect either positive or negative answers.

Actually I knew about that...what I wanted to know was what type of TV tuner can be used with a Dish receiver to work with Media Center....and if there are any better ways to get it done.
