I have a similar set up with dish network where I receive with my dish receiver and then use component out to a HDPVR, but in that case it was easier because I had schedulesdirect to create those channels for me. Without schedulesdirect, the channel editor will need to be used.<br></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>My fta tuner card (dvb-s2) is prof-7301 pci. it uses the stv0900 driver and seems to work well with mythtv once I added in a couple of high frequency patches.

If you're using a satellite receiver, like<br>> a Traxis, to tune the channel and then have myth record that off a<br>> composite, svideo or something, then you would go the IR route.
