[mythtv-users] Adding channels for Firewire tuner

I have 2 lineups with SD right now:  Analog for my basic cable (2-99) 
and Digital (everything else).  My pcHD5500 tunes the OTA HD channels 
fine and the analog channels.  Now, I want to add my STB as a 3rd 
tuner.  Its a Motorola DCT-3412 and its connected via Firewire.  I can 
run firewire_tester on it and I have the 6200ch script working for it.

The problem comes when I try to add a 3rd lineup to my SD account.  For 
my area code, it has 2 lineups available: Digital and DigitalCable.  
Digital is my basic 2-99 cable and DigitalCable is my HD stuff.  The 
only other options that they give me to choose from are a bunch of 
satellite lineups which I don't have.  I'd like to make a 3rd lineup 
that has some of the channels that are only provided via Firewire:  i.e 
higher than 99 and not OTA channels, like the new USA-HD and SciFi-HD 
channels.

Does anyone have their setup such that they use their STB as a tuner?  
Any tips?  As for lineup with SD, is this a question that I should be 
asking on their forum?

Thanks,
Harry
