wonder elite and satelite receiver

Just intstalled a wonder elite on the computer and connected to the sat
receiver (dish network). I can view the one channel the recvr. is set to,
but that is it.

I would like to get all the channels to the tuner card. I tried connecting
directly from the satelite feed to the card, but it was unable to detect any
channels.

Is there a way to get multiple channels to my computer? I currently have a
dual receiver with lines going to two tvs. Thanks.

Keith

You'll have to set an IR blaster to change the channels on the Receiver to
the one you want to watch/record. I have Vista Ultimate with an ATI 550
tuner, connected to a Dish Network 311 receiver and the Media Center
Receiver with IR changes the channels. If you want two stations to be
recorded at the same time, you'll need either two satellite receiver boxes
or one with dual tuners.

Thanks Cari,

I have the wireless usb remote receiver, which I haven't installed yet, but
I am assuming it is to control the computer and not the receiver. Is that
correct:?

It has an IR emitter which controls the satellite receiver... ie gets it to
change channels. Best thing to do is tape it right over the place where
your satellite remote is receiving signals from its own remote.
