Nope, you need a good Ku dish and LNBF.

Most DVB cards are DVB tuners only (IE, they tune the DVB stream and
pipe it to the PCI bus). There may be some cards with S-video out. You
can also get video cards with TV out that my work with the DVB viewing
software. A plain DVB receiver might be simpler.

121 is Ku band, the rest of DN is DBS.
BVN is supposedly going off Dish altogether, and onto IA5, requiring
another dish and receiver (and coax into your house).

No. DTV/Dish Network lnb frequency range is 12,000-12,700 mhz. Won't
work.
