If you're unable to change the channel while recording, it means you have a signal problem on one cable. You may have 2 Satellite-In cables coming from your dish. Having 2 cables provides 2 satellite signals and allows you to change the channel while recording a channel. Without those 2 signals, you're only going to be able to record one channel while having to watch it. To resolve: check to make sure you have both cables connected to Satellite-In 1 and 2. Both these cables should be coming from your dish. Do you get a message that says "Searching for satellite on sat-in 1 or 2"? If message says Sat-in 1, disconnect the cable at Sat-in 1 and reconnect. If Sat-in 2, vice-versa. Did it work? Great! If it didn't work, try disconnecting both cables and switch them and reconnect them (put sat-in 1 on sat-in 2 and vice-versa). This will help push the signal through. If this fails, reset the receiver by leaving it turned on and unplugging it from the power for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and let it reboot. If this fails, check your exterior cabling to make sure your cables are in good shape and not damaged and no loose connections anywhere. If all else fails, call DirecTV and you may need a service call.

Can you hook up your laptop with 802.11 to receive a direct tv satellite cable signal and watch cable?

You could hypothetically do that but it would require purchasing some expensive equipment and the setup would be somewhat complicated. In addition, you need a satellite receiver set top box to receive the satellite signal. You cannot use your computer as a satellite receiver. The easiest way to accomplish what you want is to buy a TV tuner card, tune the tuner card to channel 3 or 4, then attach the satellite receiver to the tuner card. Or you can purchase a video card that has RCA inputs and hook up the satellite receiver that way. You can convert your PC to a TV, but you cannot convert it into a satellite receiver. And last but not least, and even easier, you can purchase software for 50 bucks that will allow you to tune into hundreds of satellite tv channels vis the internet. Go to the following website to read more about this option: http://www.satellitetvtopc.com/
