What's the best way to do a screen grab off an STB (apart from taking a photo of the television screen)?

I find taking picture off an LCD flat screen comes out surprisingly well if done right but if you don't want to go down that route you'd need an analogue capture/TV card in your PC (or an external USB one) and connect the video out from the satellite receiver to the device in your PC. It would also be good to make sure the software has the option to save still frames as JPGs or something similar otherwise you'd need to extract the image from a video file.
