      input HELP!   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

      I previously posted this, but I didn't receive a response.  If it's not possible, can somebody just say so please?
     
This might be a very simple problem to correct, but I haven't yet figured out 
the solution. 

I have two directv receivers and an ATI TV Wonder tv-card. 

On the back of my television, I have a composite output. 
As most of you know, the TV Wonder card has a coaxial and a composite input. 

What I would like to do is use both dtv receivers with this card and mythtv. Overall, I'd like to at least be able to watch a different station while recording another.  Is there a way to manipulate this using both receivers, or should I buy another tv-card?  Is this possible to streamline into using just the one card with both receivers? Can't I use the composite AND the CATV connector and switch between the two with DTV?
Currently, I am only able to set mythtv to "see" one of the receivers using 
the composite1 input setting. However, when I hit 'c' to change inputs to 
the another video input that is configured to "Television" and uses the 
coaxial input on the tv-card, all i get is a blue screen like it doesn't 
recognize the input. Am I doing something wrong? What do I have to do to 
get both receivers running at the same time so I can hit 'c' to switch 
between them? 

Thanks so much for your help!
