[mythtv-users] PVR250 tuner

[GML Myth]

   I am having the opposite issue because I have connected the 
computer to an external receiver, DirecTV.  How do I keep my PVR 250 
on channel 4 (or 3 in my case)?  I don't have a transceiver set-up 
with my computer to change channels on the DTV receiver.  For now, I 
am changing channels directly on my DirecTV receiver.
   I have gotten MythTV to run (I can watch tv), but I cannot record 
TV.  Everytime I try to schedule a recording, myth changes the tuner 
(PVR-20) to XX channel and ends up recording snow/static.  Once that 
happens, I end up re-running mythtvsetup, redoing /sbin/modprobe in 
root because for some reason I lose sound, log-out, log-in as mythtv 
user, and I re-start mythfrontend.  How do I set up mythtv so that it 
does not change the PVR-tuner (keeps it on channel 3) so that I can 
watch TV or record TV?  I would like myth to think that it changed 
the channel to channel 12, 231, 292, 360 etc without actually doing 
so.  

Help, anyone.

Thanks
