[mythtv-users] MythTV and a DirecTV HD reciever

Every bit as hacked as the non-HD tivos (dunno about series-3 so don't ask 
:) ..) which means that its possible to do just about anything
programatically. Its just a question of how much of a PITA it will be.  What 
I had running (briefly, and it broke) was just a list-and-stream setup, 
mostly independent of myth. (What I have now is even more so - if I want to 
see whats on the s2 directivo, I hit 'watch tivo' and a tv 
capture/deinterlace app runs.)

In theory, with enough work, you could get it running as a tuner and storage 
buffer.  In practice, I'd be happy with a way to integrate the 
streaming/playing with the main myth recordings list.. (and the commercial 
flagging, etcetc)
