ok, DCT6200, with 5C on many channels, os some channels can be
received
through the firewire no problem, the rest can use the pvr-150.
Is there a way to set it up so that when Myth needs to record a
5C=0 channel
it uses the firewire transfer from the box but when it needs to
record a
5C=1+ it uses the PVR-150? I can manually tell Myth which channels use
firewire and which use the PVR-150 but what I need to know is if
there is a
way to tell it that both methods are using the same cable box and
therefore
it can't use both simultaneously?

Since many people will have a similar setup with their cable box (some
channels 5C=0 some 5C=1, a nice ability would be to be able to have
Myth take
some channels via firewire and some via a PVR-150 from the same
cable box.
I don't see a way to do this, as the scheduler would need to know
that it couldn't run both sources at the same time.

something that could be added? This is a situation that many people with the
DCT boxes could take advantage of.
I've been wondering the same thing myself, since Comcast just enabled 5C
in my area a couple months ago. I think it would be pretty simple to
tie my digital cable channel information to the S-Video input of my
PVR-250 in Myth, and manually set 6200ch as the channel changer. Myth
just needs some way to mark certain inputs as mutually exclusive so it
doesn't schedule a firewire show at the same time. If anyone's counting
votes for coding this feature, count me in.
