[mythtv-users] By passing tuner and external channel changing

[Nick Collier]

Thanks.

I should add that I've got this all working (channel changing over the
serial port etc.) right now. I just want to switch from using the
composite output from the cablebox into my pvr-250 to using the coax
output from the cablebox into to the tuner input on my pvr-250.
