[mythtv-users] Wits end

I'm at my wits end trying to get my MythTV box working with my Dish
network PVR

I have the pvr connected to my WinTV PVR 250, via coax, and setting to
channel 3 on the output.

I can get everything running up to the point of watching Live TV. All I
get is static..

In re-running Myth Setup, I have these settings I'm not sure about.

Under 1: GENERAL, page 3 (not sure of the title page, but the 3rd
screen)
        Channel Frequency -> us-cable
not sure what is supposed to work here.

Under 3: Video Sources
        selected "Dish network - Los Angeles"
        Channel Frequency - us-cable
not sure this works

Unsure 4: input Connection
        Preset Tuner Channel - 3
I have the switch on the back of the PVR set to channel 3

What is the "proper" way to get a Dish PVR receiver working with the
MythTV box? Coax, 3 wire composite, S-Video, or some other combination.

I've tried searching MythTV.org, and google, but I don't' seem to be
using the correct phrase to get an answer.

Thanks
