[mythtv-users] HD-PVR setup

[Kevin Plew]

That's why I love myth- there is always someone to point you in the
right direction. I also need to reset my Dish set top box to get the
component out working as I had s-video connected in the past. A big
plus is that my existing channel changing script via my homemade cable
still works.

Thanks!
