Panasonic  DMR-ES40VS VHS / DVD Recorder Silver
doesn't talk to a satellite receiver
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. <br />Does any brand recognize sat receivers?
