Once the PVR 250 is set to channel 3 how do you change channels in
Directv other than using the Directv remote since this bypasses the
guide function of MythTV? Is this dependent upon using the serial cable
connection to the low speed data port or can I control it via MythTV and
keyboard until I get around to the data port cable?
