Here's the set-up you are looking for -

audio-out from satellite to audio-in into receiver.
video-out from satellite into TV.

I am assuming you will not be using your TV's audio as a source and you will be running speakers through your receiver.

Make sure your receiver settings are set correctly- ie: running in 5.1 mode rather than stereo
I have a HK and use Logic 7 or Dolby Emulation to get surround from my Dish Network receiver.

Hope this points you in the right direction

If your sat. receiver has optical digital
output and your a/v receiver has optical
inputs,that is the way to go,showtime &
hbo have 5.1 audio on some channels,on some movies,and the only way to hear the
5.1 is through the digital output.
