[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 707720, member: 82144"] It might help you to think of s-video as one channel. The same goes for composite, component, HDMI etc. Like I said above, you can't do it with your current HVR1800 tuner. You need a DVB-S2 capable tuner that can handle DIRECTV's conditional access system (the access cards). I can't advise you on that since I have no experience whatsoever with DIRECTV or conditional access stuff. Hopefully another user from the USA can help you out with that... [Edit: Just to be clear, you can view all DIRECTV channels via the s-video input. The limitations are that you can only view/record one channel at a time (the channel that the STB is tuned to) and that you have to change channel on the STB. Some people do this, but it sounds like that is not what you wanted or expected...] [/QUOTE]
