After running through the set up a number of times, and finding the es40 won;t do a channel set up from a sat receiver, and only getting a no channels found error message, I called the 1-800 nbr and was told while the box does interface at the rf input from cable, it does not for satellite. The dvd recorder/vcr unit cannot be used to selct channels to view/record from. Returning the unit now.Does any brand recognize sat receivers?
