Others (I'm sure) will chime in. I just got a new mobo with firewire onboard, so I finally have a reason to dive back in to set up my slave backend.
Yes, it should be able to change channels over firewire, but there is no guarantee. From my research, only a single channel can be captured via firewire. Look at the cable box as one of your potential tuners. Paul >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/14/05 3:45 PM >>> cool.. now can mythTV tell the DCbox to change channels via the firewire? Can more than one channel be listened to across firewire?
