Alright... that's one for the crack-pipe :) ... I don't imagine that you can
utilize both inputs at the same time because of hardware limitations, but I
was figuring on a "one-at-a-time" scenario. I know that in mythtvsetup you
can specify which inputs are used for corresponding video sources, I was
just not sure if the channel lineup for "mycable channels" could be used for
all recordings as I do now.
I have read a couple of different posts that suggest a "mycable channels"
source, and a "mydigitalcable channels" source might have some merit (with
corresponding channels edited out of each) with the (s-vid) input running
the digital cable box and the coax running through the 350's tuner. I think
there is support for this type of configuration within Myth (with regards to
input priority and card priority) but I cannot confirm a working setup as
such. Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Crack?
I will puff away and mull over some more google searches and gossamer
threads...
Thanks All!!
Cory
