It does the ir output to control the expressview box much like running

I think the trick is to leave the hauppage set to chan 13 and use a
custom built infrared controller for the decoder box. I don't use
satallite. But I know there are plans for building an inbfrared remote
for Myth or they can be purchased.<br>
<br>
Try the mythtv howtos and forums for that.<br>

<font size="2">MythTV is all working, but will only record the default tv channel.<br>
Expressvu for condos by default uses channel 3,8 and 13.<br>
I set the PVR-250 to record off channel 13.<br>
<br>
Thus if I want mythtv to record something, I have to change my TV to<br>
channel 13,<br>
and then do a MANUAL RECORD of channel 13. This is not using the power of<br>
MythTV's Program Guide and Program Finder.<br>
<br>
I cannot use the Program Guide or Program Finder in MythTV. Why is that,<br>
you ask?<br>
Because the Hauppage PVR-250 does not know how to switch channels on its<br>
own.<br>
This is strange because I can switch them using the Hauppage PVR-250<br>
remote when watching TV on MythTV.<br>
(so I think it is 99% correct)<br>
<br>
If only I were using Rogers, the channel tuning would be working! (dont<br>
need anything special to switch Rogers channels)<br>
However I am using Bell ExpressVu for Condos. (which btw has excellent<br>
picture quality)<br>
<br>
The only way to change channels anywhere on anything is by using the<br>
Bell supplied<br>
NEXTLEVEL COMMUNICATIONS remotes.<br>
<br>
I am using a Hauppage PVR-250, so the tuner on that I believe has no<br>
idea how to change channels.<br>
Even though all the channels are listed in MythTV. I believe all the<br>
channels are listing okay, is because<br>
of the zap2it is providing all the channel data.<br>
<br>
The crux is how to tell the Hauppage PVR-250 how to change channels.<br>
If I leave the channel on the default channel 13, then it records the<br>
program no problem at all.<br>
(sounds and everything works great)<br>
<br>
There are a couple of things I could try.<br>
1) the LIRC again?<br>
2) reprogram a NEXTLEVEL remote and try to get the PVR-250 to change the<br>
channel.<br>
3) move some of those weird bunny ear antennas on the coax cable that<br>
the NEXTLEVEL remotes can "talk to"<br>
<br>
Why am I rambling this like? I have no idea. lack of sleep :)<br>
anyone that has mythtv experience, let me know.<br>
<br>
btw I am recording all the installation of the KnoppMyth right from the<br>
hardware on the ground to the working KnoppMyth.<br>
I am using a digital camera.<br>
