I get the exact same situation as you. If I plug the co-ax from the wall into the PVR250, I can see the analog channels (< 80). To see the digital channels I run co-ax from the STB to the PVR250, and use the firewire to change channels. The STB outputs to the TV via component only. I should have been a little clearer earlier; sorry I couldn't be of more help. Fortunately the GF loves Myth, to the point that she complains when I want to upgrade (" it works like it is, doesn't it honey" :) ) -- Peter
