[mythtv-users] Getting All Channels with Rogers Digital Cable

[Claude Boucher]

Taylan Pince a écrit :

I encountered the same problem when I first set up my Myth system 18 
months ago. As the previous posters said, the idea is to connect your 
Scientific Atlanta (that's what Rogers is using, right?) set-top box to 
your PVR350 to record the digital channels. The channel changing 
operations can be done with an IR Blaster connected to the serial port 
of your Myth backend.

While you're at it, you might also want to consider buying a second 
capture card (such as a PVR150/PVR500) to record the 30 or so analog 
channels (CBC, CTV, Global, CITY, TVO, the US networks...). The system 
is flexible enough so you can asign priorities to channels in order to 
record them on "classic" cable instead of "wasting" recording time on 
your digital cable input. This way, you'll be able to record Peter 
Mansbridge on one tuner while taping  some show/movie on a digital-only 
channel.
