I see. Could you split the source (the output from the STB, right?) and have
one signal going to TV/SAT and one going directly to the MythTV box? That's
how mine is set up - I have a STB which has two outputs, one going to my
receiver and one to the MythTV box. If I select TV/SAT on the receiver I can
watch TV directly from the STB, if I select VCR/DVR I get MythTV, including
Live TV.
