Input is on s-video.
That's why I want to be able to tune past channel 122, so I can get the
MythTV Program Guide info on shows.
If I punch in, using either a wireless keyboard or remote, anything
other than 2 - 122, it stays on the channel MythTV is set to. If I try
to scroll past channel 122, it scroll right back to channel 2.
Once I get the small kinks worked out, I will look into an IRBlaster.
Right now, I'm just trying to reliably work, use, and record with my
MythTV box.
