Which type of tuner do you require?
I mean which type of signal does Airtel DTH provide?

@OP - at 5k.. its really ahrd to get a real HD capture card. You can get AverMedia AverTV Duo Hybid II for around 5.5k but this does not have HDMI input. This card converts analog signals it receives through the co-axial cable and converts it to digital 1080p resolution for recording. Its up-scaling the video not real HD. I would strongly suggest to increase the budget and get AcerMedia DarkCrystal C207 - AverMedia DARKCRYSTAL HD CAPTURE PRO TV Tuner Card - AverMedia: Flipkart.com

Nope..,, screen recorders will record the footage in the resolution at which its being seen on your screen, which ultimately wont be HD if you use basic card. Even if you upscale the video later, it wont be true HD quality.

Ok...Will AverMedia DARKCRYSTAL HD CAPTURE satisfy all my needs or I have to extend my budget for better card ?

It'll satisfy your needs. Capture devices from Haupage are the best but their availability in India is questionable. So the best bet is AverMedia.
