[Tfug] Mythtv

[Christopher Robbins]

Will -

IIRC, using a cable box requires that you hook up the cable box to your
MythTV PC via a serial cable.   When you change channels, the MythBox will
communicate with the cable box to change the channel.  I haven't used a
cable box with MythTV in a long time, but that's how I seem to remember it.


Supposedly, MythTV .2 is supposed to be a great release - I haven't had a
chance to upgrade.  I'll probably do it this weekend and document the whole
process.... (I seem to have neglected my website..:( )
