Is there any way by which i can connect both Dish TV and PC with monitor(dell u2312hm)at the same time and use PIP function for switching both,but connecting both via HDMI,so that good picture quality can be maintained?Is this possible?

AFAIK no..

Aren't tv tuners used as pip functions?

u can use a hdmi switcher but pip is not an option

do u know how much does it costs?

flipkart had it but now I can't find it on the store anymore.

I agree with others. AFAIK, it's not possible. Most monitors are programmed to switch to one signal port. If you have multiple, it tends to give priority to signal coming in from one priority port as setup by the manufacturer. for example, in my case, if I have the monitor connected to my PC via a VGA cable and to my laptop via the HDMI cable, my monitor gives priority to the HDMI and switches the display to HDMI input.

HDMI switcher costs ~300/- Those are usually 4 in 1. Meaning: 3 input, 1 output.
Thus you can't use it in this scenario.

Means,no switching??
