[mythtv-users] Has anyone figured out a way to change channels to
an external box (like DirectTV) and get directtv listings in
the program guide?

Assuming you have one of the RCA receivers, look at:
http://www.pcmx.net/dtvcon/
Once you build the cable and have the utility working, just search the
archives for a script that can be used to change the channels from myth. The
serial interface works really well.....
I believe there are also instructions for the Sony receivers available as
well, but I'm not sure where to get them....
Cheers,
