So many problems with this post...
1) Wrong forum. You want the Capturing forum.
2) You make the usual newbie mistake of thinking that the less you tell us, the more likely you are to get help. You are wrong. The more you tell us about what you did, the more likely you are to get help. Try again IN THE CORRECT FORUM and include this information:
Your tv video card model
What software you are using to record
What format you are recording in (DVD, VCD, etc.)
Whether or not you can see the video through your tv card BEFORE you try to record it. Usually if you can't see it prior to recording, you're not going to capture anything when you try to record it.

My best guess based on your error is that the capture card is not seeing any video signal, hence there is nothing to record. If so, you'll need to fix that problem, but more info on exactly what you are doing would help.

I'd try reinstalling the Hauppauge software.

Are you talking about the HVR-1600? You might find some info in this thread.

As for a satellite receiver, the card has no specific support other than analog input.
