Thanks for the reply, Chuck.<br><br>I've got a dual LNB dish and 2 DirecTV boxes. I'm assuming I would have to configure MythTV to control each of my 2 DirecTV set top boxes if I want to be able to record one channel why watching another. I just don't know if that's even possible.

</a>>.<br>> Can one Myth box be configured to control 2 separate set top boxes?<br><br>This is off topic from your original question but are you aware that you<br>can't simply use a splitter to tee two DirecTV boxes off the same coax
<br>coming from your DirecTV dish? You have to have a separate coax running<br>from each DirecTV box to an LNB on your dish (OR an associated multiswitch<br>that is connected to both LNBs). A detailed explanation of this is given
