It depends on your receiver. Some are "pass thru" only meanning they pass thru video but not audio. A separate audio connection is needed in that case.

We need to know what receiver and display you have. But if your receiver does accept audio as well as video then the satellite and the dvd player get connected to the receiver's hdmi "in's" and the receiver's hdmi "out" gets connected to the displays hdmi "in".
If your receiver doesn't accept audio via hdmi then you need separate audio connections as well.

Re: HDMI
To get the most useful responses you should post the make and model of all the components you propose to connect, not the just the receiver and TV. Not all satellite boxes have HDMI or both optical and coax digital outputs, which can further complicate connection options.
