It seems like Comcast has finally gotten around to blocking most of my<br>
analog stations. So, I'd like to re-schedule them to use my HD-PVR. I<br>
just looked at my SchedulesDirect lineup and I see that the lineup that<br>
the HD-PVR uses doesn't have any of those channels. So, can I just add<br>
in the ones I want/need, then tell Myth to use the HD-PVR as the<br>
preferred input?<br>

I don't think they're "blocking" analog.<br>
<br>
They've discontinued it. There is no signal to unblock. It's gone.<br>
<br>
Just thought I'd mention it.<br>

Sorry, poor choice of words on my part. :-) Many of the channels that were in the basic 2-99 (just plug in the cable to the TV and you're in business) finally got discontinued. I can still get them via my Comcast STB, so I wanted to move my recordings on those channels to use the HD-PVR. That was what I was getting at with my original question.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the clarification.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
