DrDish:
The cable you see runs to a pizza like dish, which is pointed to 101°West. 
This means,the former owner of the receiving set subscibed to DirecTV and 
the card is expired. First, you have to call DirecTV for the nearest point, 
to reactivate the card or get a new one. But there is no way in receiving 
Argentine TV. The little "Nintendo-Box" is your satellite-receiver and is 
only good for the digital package of DirecTV. If you like to explore a 
little bit more the world of satellite tv - and even get some news-feeds 
from Argentina - you should install a 10 feet-dish for the c-band (4 GHz) 
and invest in a new receiver with integrated positioner.
That´s the situation as I see it here from Europe.
