Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't yet messed about with channel- changing on the VCR yet (I'm trying to take this one piece at a time). Hooking up the S-Video was the next step after getting basic Myth tv- watching and recording working (which it was).
I'll try the following: 1) Jack up the priority on the tuner and see if that resolves it. 2) Remove the set-up on the S-video and see if that resolves it. I'll report back, particularly if (1) resolves it. Chris K. > I think your problem might be having the guide data on the SVideo > input.
