>> One of my remaining questions regarding this DTA concerns the 3.5 mm jack on the back labeled "ir in." From what I so far gather, this is included to provide a means for Tivo systems to interface with the DTA by wire rather than by sending IR signals. Is there some way a MythTV system can interface with the device by wire using that 3.5 mm port? (see <a href="https://www.amazon.com/TiVo-Cable-Direct-Connect-Control/dp/B00VQWYNB8">https://www.amazon.com/TiVo-Cable-Direct-Connect-Control/dp/B00VQWYNB8</a> for an example of a cable that is meant to connect a Tivo system with the DTA)<br>

<p dir="ltr">Except for the fact that I returned my/their STB I could still be doing what you are pondering. I had a DCT700 with a channel change script (no need for lirc if you can find an appropriate script for your box) and an IR blaster (serial port out of my PC and IR send taped to the front of the STB, maybe you can find a serial to 3.5mm cord and avoid the tape) In Myth when you find your NTSB card you will be presented with a screen that asks what channelĀ to open the card on as well as other useful parameters, that escape my memory at the moment.<br>
If you're enjoying the picture quality of OTA now, as I am it may be less of an enjoyable experience to watch cable recordings, I found them soft and fuzzy in comparison to the sharp clarity of OTA . Happy trails!</p>
