Satellite Connections

Got our new 3700RL home yesterday Everything is great except I can't get the satellite connections correct. I know it's probable some simple thing I'm missing. Any help or suggestions?

For our 3700, it was as simple as connecting the cable from the antenna to the input in the convenience center (L.R. TV port). Then a RG6 from the upper port of the satellite connection in the upper left hand cabinet (above the TV) to the satellite receiver. The trick was supplying the output of the satellite receiver to the TV. I used a HDMI switch to connect the satellite receiver and the DVD to the *ONE* HDMI cable going to the TV.

Variations of this are possible depending on the satellite provider (Dish or DirecTV), type of receiver (SWM, DVR, or ??) and the number of TVs you want to connect.
