[mythtv-users] Watching compsite in as TV?

I have dish network with a PVR receiver and RF remote.  For my first pass I
am trying to get my mythserver setup so that I can feed the dish receiver
into the composite in of my PVR 500 and just watch that. I would use my RF
remote to control the receiver.  This would allow me to watch the feed at
any TV with a client, but only need one receiver. However I havn't been able
to figure out how to configure the server (mythtvsetup). It seems to require
channels be defined and when I do define them via datadirect it fails while
trying to change to that channel.  I am also using the server as a media
library and so far this seems to be ok. I was thinking of setting a link for
my composite in to a file in the media library. However if something
modifies the ivtv driver that gets out of sync as well.
