[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,
