Could you split the source (the output from the STB, right?) and have one signal going to TV/SAT and one going directly to the MythTV box? That's how mine is set up - I have a STB which has two outputs, one going to my receiver and one to the MythTV box. If I select TV/SAT on the receiver I can watch TV directly from the STB, if I select VCR/DVR I get MythTV, including Live TV.
