I have an HD-3000 and a PVR-250. In mythtvsetup, I have two channel lineups (using zap2it): one for HDTV OTA broadcast channels and one for DirecTV. The HDTV lineup is attached to the HD-3000 Television input and the DirecTV is attached to the PVR-250 S-Video. When I am watching live tv, I can switch between the cards using 'C'. However, when I am in the guide data, if I pick a channel that only exists in one lineup, mythtv doesn't automatically switch cards (in other words, if I'm watching local OTA channel on HD-3000 and then select DirecTV ESPN (channel 206), mythtv doesn't switch to the PVR-250 card). Is this normal or do I have something set up incorrectly? I end up having to change cards (with 'C') and then changing channels. Eventually, I hope to have three inputs on the two capture cards: two DirecTV receivers on the S-Video input for each card, and one OTA HDTV via the HD-3000. I was planning on setting up two channel lineups (the same two I have now) and just associating the DirecTV lineup twice (to each card's S-Video) and the OTA HDTV to the HD-3000. Will this work, or will I need to set up three lineups (DTV1, DTV2, and HDTV)? If I have to set up three, will myth automatically merge them so I won't have duplicates in my guide? On a related topic, with the DirecTV and HDTV OTA, I have multiple local channels (the DTV version and the HDTV OTA version of CBS, for instance). Is there a way to get the HDTV version chosen before the DTV version (so when I record network channels, I get the HDTV version versus the "standard" DTV version)? Should this be done at the capture card level or on a channel by channel basis? Also, at the capture card, can I specify the input priority (so if I have both DTV on SVideo, and HDTV on Television on the HD-3000, I can still get the Television input to supercede the SVideo input)? thanks, phlepper -- I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. -- Confucius _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
