[mythtv-users] directv and dish network

[Ricardo Kleemann]

This is awesome, thanks. :-)

A couple more questions... how can I control mythtv via a remote control
instead of using keyboard?

If I hooked up a VCR to save some tapes to disk (or even burn DVDs), how
would I control that from mythtv?

Thanks again
Ricardo
