That's weird. I can change channels on my MythTV box using a wireless
keyboard and/or universal remote. Yes I know it won't change my DISH
receiver, but that is my next project. I get the Program Guide, etc,
and select the channel I want to have the MythTV box to show.

Yes, via labs.zap2it.com (?) I have everything set as I want. I have a
number of stations above 122. ESPN, Discovery, Military, etc., and yes
in the Program Guide they all show up.

The MythTV database has all of the channels I want listed there. The
IR-Blaster will be my next project, once I can "select" any channel
above 122.
