if your telling Myth to use the composite in you shouldn't need to give it a channel, it should just ask for the channel tune command and then grab from the composite video in. side note, if you have svideo capability, even a cheap $5 svideo cable will look better than any composite connection. -- Steve > How do I get Myth not to try to tune to the frequency but simply record off > the stream coming from S-Video input?
