If you're getting a DirecTivo box, why would you get a splitter?
Splitters don't really work with sat feeds anyway, unless you don't mind
changing channels on one box when you change the channels on the other.
The DirecTivo has 2 satellite inputs that requires 2 independant LNB
feeds. What you need is a multi-switch that lets you convert a dual-LNB
dish input into multiple (4, 8, or more) independant satellite outputs.
DirecTivo works so well that I don't use Myth's TV functionality at all
-- the Myth box is strictly a video/DVD/audio convergence appliance for
me, which it does very well. Our DirectTivo's (I have two, and am
looking at maybe 2 more to replace my other two DTV receivers) handles
all the timeshifting and scheduled recordings on our house, because
frankly Tivo is hard to beat for what it does.

I'm just going to pick up one of them DirecTiVo boxes like mentioned and a
satelite signal splitter and stick my account card into it. Done deal. Not
quite as functional as a Myth box, but atleast i wont need dual boxes and a
splitter and a PC to do a similar job.
Thanks again, i love the idea of MythTV but its not easilly done with
DirectTV, if i had cable, i'd be all over.
