[mythtv-users] UK & NTL set topt box

[Paul Wheeler]

I have a new ntl box and red_eye doesnt work with it (check the docs
on the red_eye site). I control it with a standard irda blaster and
lirc. The scart output is plugged in to the tv and the ariel out into
the PVR 350. Be warned the new samsung box has a problem with the
scart pass through, it doesnt pass the audio though so you if you hook
up the output to the tv with a scart lead dont go through the box!
