First I would like to thank all of the developers and every one else that makes mythtv the tivo killer it is. I love it and pretty much have my wife hooked on it too. I do have some questions as I debate expanding my single backend/frontend combo. First off I have an athlon 2700+, 512M, Hauppauge freestyle, pcHDTV 3K, FC3 set up via Jarod's guide, capturing DirceTV via s-video and OTA for the pcHDTV3K. On to the questions:
3. Why can't I change inputs from inside the EPG? The backend knows how to do this. If I turn on my TV it defaults to DirecTV, which is what I want, but if I browse the EPG looking for something to watch or am just flipping around, it would be really nice if I could select an HDTV channel.
HDTV channels are on a different card (pchdtv3k as opposed to the svideo in on the freestyle). There is no mechanism in place to have the EPG know that it needs to, in effect, press the C button to change cards, or to know that it needs to, in effect, press Y to change inputs. If youd like to code it up, a patch is always welcome. Plenty of people have asked for this, but apparently its not wanted/needed that bad as its not been worked on. I just bound a key on my remote to the C and Y keys and use it, not that much harder, one extra keystroke.
