[Tfug] Mythtv

[Joshua Bernstein]

William,

	If you have a cable box you'll need either a serial cable to the 
mythbox or use a IR relay. Either way works nicely, although if you use 
the IR method changing channels will be slightly delayed. IMHO its 
non-ideal, and its prefered to use the Serial Cable method. Your cable 
box has to support a serial interface.
	
	Also the .20 release is a huge step forward and its absolutely worth 
checking out.
