[mythtv-users] multiple video sources

[w othi]

Update:

Just tried the changing channels thing.

If I am on composite (directv) input stream (PVR-250),
I only see the directv channels in browse (up/down).
If I am on the tuner (cable) input stream (PVR-250), I
only see the cable channels in browse (up/down).

What do you mean by "select a cable channel"?
