Is there a tuner card that will allow me to use MythTV with
Dish Network
(preferred) or do I have to use the infrared port? If the latter, is
there a more reliable serial port?
Pretty much the only reliable way to change channels with dish is with a
commercial ir blaster. With 2 of the myblaster devices and 2 receivers I
have have not noticed any instances of it missing a channel change in about
3 years of use.
My success story (2 years reliable operation) is with a homebrew LIRC
"improved transmitter." ( http://lirc.org/improved_transmitter.html )
