[mythtv-users] Cable TV question

[Richard J. Finn]

	The only thing the FAQ says on the subject is this:

 > Q: Is it possible to have MythTV change the
 > channel on my digital cable/satellite box,
 > instead of my tuner card?
 >
 > A: Yes. In the setup program, under "Input
 > Connections", you can configure a command
 > to run whenever the channel needs to be
 > changed on an input which does not have a
 > tuner. In the 0.7 release, this was a
 > global option in the configuration file,
 > "ExternalChannelCommand".

	This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  Will it just work, just easy 
as that?
