Please elaborate on your setup. I am interested as this is what I am  
wanting to do as well.
So for example, channels 2-35 in through analog cable to a PVR-150 and  
36-47 ( just an example) in through firewire from a set top box?  And  
now, will Myth know that 2-35  is from one source, and 36-47 from  
another and have no probs with that?

Thank you,

Mark
