I connect my DishNet box into the Composite input of my PVR-150. I leave
the preset channel blank, and I use this channel changer script:

http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv/contrib/channel_changers/change-channel-lirc/dish-change-channel-lirc.sh

This works well.

PS I also had to added the "dish1" through "dish16" LIRC codes to
   my /etc/lircd.conf file.
