To get MythTV to not chance channels on the tuner you need to define a script in 'mythtvsetup' for that input. This is the method that I used when changing channels on my external cable box.
if you do not already have a script you will need to write one or ask for help writing one =) On 8/4/05, Viet My <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all!
