SageTv and Dish Network ?

I am thinking about building a PVR to use with my dish setup. Gonna use the 250 or 350 card. Not sure yet on that. Could someone explain how the card interfaces witht the dish reciever. Also, how is changing channels handled. If someone has a setup could you please post a little about it. Thanks.

I know there are others with Dish (not me though), but here's the basic setup:

You connect the Dish box to your 250 (or 350) via S-Video and L/R audio cables (like you would your TV). Then with an IR blaster (like the USB-UIRT) Sage will change the channels on the box when necessary.
