first you have to check if your videocard is HDCP enabled.

You can get an HD picture, as long as the resolution is 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080p). What resolution are you displaying on your projector?

You realize that you probably can get a higher picture if you connect the HD receiver directly to your projector via DVI or component.

Your PC most probably has NOT a satellite tuner, so connecting your Dish cable to your PC is not going to help.

Connect the HDMI cable (or component cables) from the set-top directly to the TV.

You can connect your PC to your TV, but make sure you use the correct display resolution on your graphics card. Most DLPs have 1280×720, but check the User manual. If you don’t put the correct resolution, the TV will have to scale, and that causes blurry pictures.
