That device is used to hack cable tv signals. I suggest you be very careful as many cable companies can tell if you are messing with their signals, especially if you use them for your IP

The slingbox is the best thing I have bought in 10 years or more. It is toally legal and I can watch my tv at home, including recording and playback from anywhere in the world using my PC. I highly recommend it. You can also get the firmware to use your sling on just about any type of receiver ever made including FTA receivers

I bought mine from Slingmedia, have it connected to my cable tv, works great, has never given me a problem

Slingbox is not an fta receiver. If you want to try it out, slingmedia.com , is the place to do so. I have one also, and it works quite well. You can get them to work with most FTA boxes. Echostar does in fact own these devices.
