You can use any sound card that has surround sound outputs along with a surround speaker setup to watch movies in surround sound. No sound card replicates all the functions of an actual receiver, though, as a real receiver will connect your CD player, TV, DVD player and other devices and offer a AM/FM tuner for radio (that's the 'receiver' part of the description).

To use DIRECTV on demand and other connected features, an HD DVR would need to be connected via an Ethernet Cable in parallel with other networked devices into a router then to your modem.

Cinema Connection Kits come in wired and wireless options.
My Dish Network receiver is connected to my home LAN and the internet via TCP/IP for remote control of my DVR, on-demand movie downloads, etc. IIRC, there's a place in the Dish OnLine menu to get the receiver to request an IPv4 address from a DHCP server. If there's no IP address, then there's no remote control, online movies, etc. I'd bet that DirecTV has a similar setup.
DISH Network receivers decode the satellite signal using the receiver and the LNB on the dish outside of the home. The LNBs are unique to each company and can't be used by the other. In answer to your question, no.
At the Receiver's home, there may be different types of furniture, decor, layout, and items compared to the Sender's home.
