[mythtv-users] multiple video sources

[w othi]

Sorry, I think I'm out of good ideas.  Maybe Isaac or
someone else can answer the "is Myth TV smart enough"
question.  Again, I just don't watch much live TV
using Myth.  I know that when you record, it's smart
enough to select the correct input stream.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

---------------------

On my system cable channels are 1-100 and directv is
101-999
If I am watching channel 101 and press down it cycles
to channel 999
If I go to the program guide when watching tv it lists
all the programs
for 1-99 but if I select it to watch then it does
nothing but return to
the channel I was watching before I went to the guide.
If I press "c" it switches to cable then "c" changes
it back to directv.
I do have the cable that changes the channel on my
directv receiver.
Is myth tv not smart enough to realize that the
channel you select is on
a different input?
