[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 287553, member: 26653"] Well, yeah you can. Though I don't know why you'd want to. This approach you'd miss out on using a program guide, recording (unless the Dish was on the right channel), etc. Just set up a single channel in MP pointed to whatever source the Dish is hooked up to (e.g. SVHS which is S-Video). A better idea might be to connect it the right way, use the IR Blaster that came with your TV Tuner card, and let MP change the channels for you on the settop box. If you are really set on using the Dish remote, you could even use the MCE Replacement plugin to get it to accept the Dish remote commands (though you'd have to cover the IR receiver on the settop box). Am I really misunderstanding your question? [/QUOTE]
