You didn't give MythTV any way to change the channel.  S-video carries
only one channel at a time, so it can't be done by the PVR-350.  Also,
your cable box only tunes to one channel at a time, so whatever it was
sending to the TV it was also sending to your PVR-350.  There's no way
to get around that, other than getting a second cable box.  Still,
you're going to need to give MythTV a way to change the channel --
which is typically done via a serial cable if your box supports that,
or with an IR transmitter that emulates the codes from your remote.
