Satellite TV GBPVR setup

[haripj]

Hi,
I tried searching for this, but did not find a post that had the connections we would need between the satellite box and the computer. I'm thinking of changing from cable to satellite. From what I've read, so far, here is what I THINK I need -
Satellite Box
Computer with TV in card - Hauppauge 150 PVR
S-video connection from Satellite Box to Hauppauge card
The rest of the setup is basically the GBPVR server streaming programs to the Media MVP over my wireless network.
Am I missing one component here?
Will the S-video connectiom also allow the computer to change channels on the satellite box? Or do I have to install the IR-blaster thing that I got from Hauppauge to do this? And how do I do that?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think s-video alone won't carry sound from your satellite box to the computer; you'd need some sort of sound cable for that.

You need some brand of ir blaster to change channels, the s-video cable won't do that for you.

Otherwise, it seems to me you're about right =)

If I were you I'd check the make/model of satellite box first, and phone Hauppauge to check if their blaster supports it.
