Trying to run a system that is sometimes used manually is a prescription for disaster. The idea behind mythtv is that it insulates you from the actual signal sources and provides features like pausing live tv etc. Here is a suggestion. When you want to watch the digibox directly set mythtv to watch live tv and then simply watch the appropriate tv input. If myth needs to record something else it will simply take over and change the channel. Being able to watch one thing while recording another is why many of us end up with 2 recievers and cap cards. :)
