What output from the Satellite receiver are you using?
If you use the RF output on Channel 3 or 4 (whichever is a real channel
number in your area and then tell Media Center that you have an antenna
connection it should sense a signal from that channel. The if you tell it to
watch LiveTV on that channel it will receive whatever is being sent from the
cable box. You don't need a remote just your keyboard.
And then you control the satellite separatly.

Then whenever you tell it to watch

ever is on the tv at the time sent to the computer. when I want to change
channels I'll go out to the other room.

Hello I have just purchased a new computer with windows media center on
it
and I want to connect it to my tv. but i don't want to use the remote
and
channel guide.
All I want is to view and record the channel that I have on the tv at
the
time. I will use the sat. reciever to make the channel changes for
multiple
recordings. I hope someone can tell me an easy way of doing this. I
have
tried
using the infared and remote but because of where my computer is
located I
keep loosing the signal. my reciever is to far away.
