Hi I just built a mythtv system with a hauppage PVR250 and it works quite good except that I do not have the Program Guide working. My country is not listed on XMLTV, I filled up the Channel Data by hand and it works good enough. I am served by a cable company that moved to digital transmision of content (DTV? I do not know) and they changed my cable box. The cable box has a bypass output and I am feeding the MythTv Box from that bypass output. It can get all the non-encrypted channels by itself and that is fine with me (meaning no IR blaster going towards the digital box).. I noticed that the cable box has an electronics program guide (EPG). My question is, how can I tap the EPG stream to obtain this info and introduce it on the MythTV box? I read that some of the information goes into the vbi period, and I even saw a program that captures EPG in PAL in Europe (nexTView). My system is NTSC-M, us-cable.
Could somebody guide me here? Do I need a DVB capture card to accomplish this? Can I tap the DVB card off the bypass output or am I going to have to put a signal splitter at the digital cable input? I look forward to be able to use only the PVR 250.
