Yes, Myth does know that if it's set up correctly.  However, the OP said he
isn't using Myth to change channels, he's doing it directly via his STB.
So, when he changes channels on the STB he has a several second delay while
the previously buffered content clears out and he *still* doesn't know what
he's watching.  Unless, of course, his STB has it's own EPG in which case my
original question remains:  Why not just use your TV?
