Your video capture card is in the backend.  The audio/video from the 
Directv receiver plugs into the video capture card.  The serial cable 
from the "low speed port" plugs into a serial port on the backend.  The 
channel changer program/script is entered in the backend setup program.

Try this and see if it helps:
