Hello all,
I appologise if this question has been answered before on the list, I
have checked the list archives to no avail.
I live in the UK and have an ntl cable tv subscription. This comes with
the standard cheapo pace cable decoder box. Currently we have a tivo
which controls the ntl box through the scart lead. Unfortunatly we are
about to lose the tivo as a housemate is moving out and taking it with
him. We are looking at mythtv as a perfect replacement. However, we are
worried that it will not be able change the channel on the ntl box as
the tivo does. I presume we need some kind of ir blaster device that
points directly at the ntl cable box. Is this so? I have limited
experience in this area (however I have been using Linux for a while and
should be able to install mythtv without too many complications ;-) )
If there are any UK HOWTO guides or links on the internet I should be
aware of they would be greatfully received.
Thanks
Oliver
