What are you trying to do? The STB's I've seen take an Antenna and give out Video. So far this has nothing to do with myth, so myth still needs it's two antenna feed and if you have a video-input on the PVR-150 the you can feed the STB box output to myth. There is a whole domain that I've not explored which is controlling the STB vi myth, and I cannot imagine that this is standard 'talk' so I guess this is hairy to setup. The end result is myth has 2+STBchannels to play with. Umm the whole scenario seems cumbersome to me, why get a STB if not to use on a TV? Beware of RF stuff. Every single split/join in the antenna cable introduces significant loss to the signal.
