I just signed up for DataDirect. I have one question. I have basic cable 
and Dish Network. Do I have to sign up for two DataDirect accounts so I 
can configure one for each Video Source? I see DataDirect allows for 
multiple lineups but don't know if Myth can use one account and load the 
seperate lineups per Video Source.
