Why are you manually using a cablebox that has been relegated to
MythTV duty? Seariously you can not expect MythTV to play nice with
humans co-opting its resources unannounced. The solution is to get a
second cable box (which you wont connect to MythTV). Then you wont be
tempted to manually control the box connected to MythTV.
I suggest not to bother the developers with this request.
