Problem identified. I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier that this would pose a problem, but I am a DirecTV user. As such, taking the coax cable directly to my PVR-350 is just _not_ going to work. The image is not tuned and I cannot change channels.
What I assume I need to do is to go from cable to DirecTV decoder box, and from decoder box to my MythTV box. From what I've gleaned from other posts on the archive, I understand I also need a serial cable from the decoder box to my MythTV box in order for channel changing to take place. I have yet to find a _comprehensive_ guide to setup in a DirecTV environment; rather, I've seen a bunch of vague descriptions and allusions to the fact that it can be done. Being of relative low skill, however, I really need the step-by-step. Does anyone know of a good resource?
