Thanks for the info.

It would be nice to connect the r5000hd receiver directly to the myth
box. Those tools would be useful to help figure out the demuxing of
the DirecTV streams, and making TS files.

I am still pursuing the DVHS emulation angle, though, as it looks
like less work than doing the direct connection.
