Any FTA satellite guys?
I thought it was too but could be wrong. I "thought" I was gonna get into this but got so confused by all the mpeg decoding and BS that I finally gave the idea the toss.
My take............
I don't know how the receiver "drives" the TV? If it's a digi output, you might be better off using a junk small analog TV for the tuning monitor. Look around the thrift stores
If you don't have a tuneup meter I'd get one, you can find 'em cheap
