</a><br></blockquote></div><br>Sorry I am just now getting back to posting but I went out of town. I just sat down and played with it a little and it turns out that having the second cable box plugged in to the firewire card was enough to cause Myth not to show anything over firewire. Next I am going to try daisy chaining instead of directly plugging both in to the firewire card to see if that makes a difference. Right now I have the following problems with two SA3250HD cable boxes:
<br><br>1) Two SA3250HD cables boxes does not appear to work with MythTV although it works fine with test-mpeg2.<br>2) The channel change command only works on one box. You cannot specify nodes.<br><br>I am definately not complaining though I am happy to get one working and maybe I can figure out how to get both working. Just thought I would post in case anyone runs across the same problems as me. Thanks
