<div>I use my MythTV box with Direct TV. I use S Video output from my Dish Network Receiver D10 into the S Video input of my PVR 250 in my myth box. I have another audio cable connecting my PVR audio input to the audio output of D10 receiver.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Make sure to use S Video option in the MythTV setup which is set to Tuner by default.</div>

<br><br>Well first, Myth does not "replace" a TV set, but I know what you<br>mean :-)<br><br>From what you describe you are trying to get the RF output of a DISH<br>receiver into your PVR card. Given that scenario you would have to
<br>set your card to receive on channel 2/3 all the time.<br><br>But that's not the best way to connect a satellite receiver. You<br>should use either the composite or the S-Video and the baseband<br>audio. (as was said earlier by Michael Tiller).
<br><br>But you will still have to tune the receiver using an IR blaster of<br>some sort. Some DirecTV receivers can be serially controlled, but all<br>DISH receivers require IR control (or RF, on the second channel of<br>
the dual-mode receivers).<br><br>The best resources are the most obvious:<br><br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page</a><br><br>You don't mention what distro, Myth version etc. you are using. Most
<br>problems with Myth turn out to be with the underlying OS or drivers<br>and not really Myth itself. Best bet is to prove out the hardware<br>using more basic software and then attempt a Myth installation.<br><br>You might also consider one of the all-in-ones like MythDora or
<br>KnoppMyth, if you are new to Linux as well as Myth.<br><br>Basically you have a lot of reading ahead in the New Year, I envy<br>you :-)<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list
