Rule #1 don't start a new thread by replying to an old one.  Folks who 
uses threaded mail readers may not see your message if they're not 
reading the thread.

To use a PVR250 with DirecTV you either hook up an SVideo out from the 
DTV box to it or coax from the DTV box and set the PVR250's tuner to 
channel 3.. There is no way to remove the DTV box from the loop since 
DTV streams are encrypted.
