wiring remote ceiling fan w/ two switches?


i am installing a Hunter Ceiling Fan remote (the fan has pull chains). i have two switches on the wall one for the lights and one for the fan. so coming from the ceiling is 4 wires black, red, white, copper. the fan has a black, blue, green, white. the receiver has black, white, black, red, white. I understand connect black to black white to white and all that and i get that the receiver only needs to be operated by one switch (i picked the black) but when i do this i get nothing everything just stays on and i can not control it from the remote. i tried changing switches by using the red wire and i get the same thing. I tried playing with the wires and the only thing that came close to working was when i put the black(hot) and the red(lights) from the receiver and the blue(light) from the fan to the red from the ceiling then attached the blacks(fan) together. I was able to control the fan speed but not the lights. I tried contacting hunter tech support but they weren’t to helpful at all. any help would be great. hopefully i explained this well enough.
