I want to use my PC as a PVR, I know it can get HD signals but I was wondering if I could use it to get video from my Direct tv box, then use it with something like GB-PVR.
Since the answer is no. Is there a USB tuner that works with GB-PVR.
No.
That device only accepts ATSC signals, and your DirecTV box does not output an ATSC signal.
If you want to receive ATSC and connect your DirecTV box (albeit in SD), you need a tuner card that supports NTSC as well, and likely has A/V inputs.

No.
An ATSC tuner is for terrestrial broadcast TV in the US and certain other countries only. A satellite tuner is totally different and a totally different frequency range, etc.
