<div>SchedulesDirect: At the moment I have the HDHR connected to the broadcast listings (even though it uses cable), and the HD-PVR connected to the digital cable listing, including premium channels such as HBO. When adding the HDHR Prime, would I need another digital cable listing that excludes the premium channels that I don't think I will be able to receive on the prime? Is this possible with schedules direct?</div>
<br></blockquote><div>For some shortsighted reason, SchedulesDirect does not allow you to use the same lineup multiple times with different channels selected. The official, approved way (<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc24.2">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc24.2</a>) is to create the video source with the limited lineup and download the channels for your Clear QAM input(s). Then you're supposed to select the additional channels on SchedulesDirect that your Prime can see and download that lineup as another video source. Then to keep things from getting screwed up, you tell Mythfilldatabase to ignore new channels so your limited video source doesn't get the channels added that it can't receive.<br>
<br>The obvious drawback to this method, though, is that if your provider changes any channels, you'll have to go through that procedure again to pick up the changes. I wasn't excited about that prospect, though, so what I did was to add a new lineup using a neighboring city which for my purposes is identical to my primary lineup. Then I can deselect the channels that the tuner can't get, and that way both video sources pick up channel changes automatically with no further work required by me (unless one can't receive it and tries to record something on it). It's kind of a dumb workaround and I wish SD would allow multiple lineups for the same city, but I really can't complain much for $25/year.<br>
