trouble configuring Satellite set top box with Media Center RohitK 07-04-2008

Hi, I need some help. I have got a Media Center PC with Vista Ultimate and a
Pinnacle TV Tuner Card. I have a Tata SKY set top box that has RF output on
channel 68. It connects to the RF In on the back of the computer. There is
no input for composite video on the back of the computer.

When I search for the TV signal on the Media Center config set up, it
detects one channel; however, beyond that, I am not able to see a single
channel on the monitor, or use the Set Top Box in any way.

Would anyone Have any inputs on how to fix this so that I can finally use my
Media Center to watch TV?

If you can configure the Tata SKY set top box to output a broadcast
channel, instead of the Cable channel, you can setup the tuner in Media
Center for Analog Antenna. You would then receive the output of the Tata SKY
set top box on broadcast channel 68.

It may be possible to setup the tuner in Media Center to tune Cable channel
68, if you setup MCE for no set top box.

You would use the Set top box normally, In other words, you change the
channel on the set top box.

Just like you watch Tata SKY on your TV.
