Just to be sure I don't mess up my system (finally have it working
right). I just create a new setup under mythsetup named cable and under
the inputs assign cable to it. At the same time having the s-video
labeled to DirecTV. It keeps the schedule for both cable and DirecTV
separate?
I do have a pvr 250
Thanks
