<div>Thanks Nick.</div> <div>I am using the A/V outputs on my DIsh Network.</div> <div> </div> <div>Requirement:</div> <div>I would like Myth TV to record all the programs on One Channel like ABC.</div> <div> </div> <div>The Issue is since , there is no grabber for India.</div> <div> </div> <div>I tried to setup one channel in the channel editor , with the frequency </div> <div>of the channel that was given to me by Dish Network, and was hoping that</div> <div>I dould create a program listing for that channel, subsequently would be able to record them.</div> <div> </div> <div>I had to use some XML TV in the MythSetup and hence using the au-grab, or zap 2 it.</div> <div> </div> <div>Can someone please direct me so as to how I should go about doing this.</div> <div> </div> <div>Hope the requirement is clear.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks</div> <div>Krishh</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Nick

feed from a cable/satellite box, you need to manually<BR>create channels for all of the stations you want to record from if you<BR>want to be able to use program listings and scheduling (which is the<BR>best way to use MythTV).

Details
of how to configure LIRC and<BR>record codes from a remote control are available on the LIRC site.<BR><BR>> I will try creating a dummy /bin/true in the Myth TV Setup, and see if it<BR>> will work.<BR><BR>As Brian stated, this is only useful if you are manually changing the<BR>channel on the cable box yourself or testing. If you are able to<BR>create a remote control configuration to control your cable box with<BR>an IR blaster then you will need to specify an actual channel changer<BR>script.<BR><BR>My backend systems all record from external cable boxes, using the<BR>composite/audio inputs of my PVR-x50 cards, and the cable boxes are<BR>controlled using homebrew serial IR blasters without any issues. I<BR>have also used irrecord to record lircd.conf config files for several<BR>remotes, so I know it is possible.
