How to set up cable box?

Game_dude · 2007-07-13, 03:38

Hi, I'm not sure if this belongs here or not but I have a Motorola cable box that has some digital channels on it that I would to view/record via MP.

I have it hooked via S-Video thats working pretty good but I don't see how I'll be able to schedule a recording on a certain channel.

I did try the external thing via add channel but couldn't get it to work also I have a little IR jack that came with my MCE remote could I use that on my box and control it via the MCE remote? Please someone reply with atleast a how to thanks!!
