[mythtv-users] Rotel RSP-1066 + MythTV system

[Gerald Schepens]

I have a Rotel RSP-1066 preamp, which can act as a video switcher.  It 
lets you set up the device that goes to the A/V outputs such that it's 
different from the one you're actually listening to / watching.  This 
works out really nicely, because I have it routing the S-video and audio 
from my cable box into both my TV and the inputs on my PVR350 on a 
full-time basis, but I can watch / listen to a DVD on the TV / stereo 
without interrupting this routing.

Probably there are oodles of receivers that can handle this but I 
thought I'd throw it out there that the Rotel seems to do a really nice 
job.  The video quality of the rerouted signals is great.

Now if I could just figure out how to get the Myth PC to switch channels 
on the cable box!  There's an RS-232 port on the back of it -- maybe 
somebody's written a serial channel-changer app for the Motorola DCT-2000?
