[mythtv-users] Wiki update, connecting to STB and using an IR Blaster

[Chris Mcnally]

I just got cable and had to learn how to connect my PVR-250 to my set 
top box and connect an IR Blaster to change channels on it. I had to 
search through a lot of material since the info in the  Myth manual and 
Jarod's guide were not complete.  Without either of these I *never* 
would have been able to set up my Myth box in the first place, so I 
thought I would organize and contribute back what I  learned.

The trouble is that writing is not my specialty and it does take a long 
time. Furthermore, I only have experience personally with the PVR 250 
and Standard Def TV. I'm looking for help  from the list to edit and 
correct the pages I started.

1) The first page is simply an introduction and overview of connecting a 
STB to a Tuner card.

Please take a look and add to it and edit. Especially the Firewire part 
as I simply copied info from other sources. 

2) Connecting and using an IR Blaster. This page was kind of a mess with 
broken links and disorganization. Mainly the HOWTO is linked and this 
wiki page is a wrapper/introduction.   Again: Help! thanks!
