Hook the satellite cable up to the satellite/cable connection in the convenience centre. Then in the cupboard where you put the receiver take the jumper cable off the top connection. Put the cable from the receiver on the top connection. I hope this helps as it was the way I hooked up mine for my portable dish.

Yup, Hookman's method should do it. Put the receiver in series with the loop connector near the entertainment center - that is what the loop is for, to be replaced with the satellite receiver. You will need another coax wire to reconnect back into the loop (from the wall the input cable goes into the "in" of the satellite and the TV out from the receiver gets connected to the other connector of the loop). In my TV the input is on the bottom, Hookman's was on top. You'll need to try either direction to get it right.

I hope this makes sense.
