[QUOTE="djkms, post: 242287, member: 56904"] Ok here's the deal. I'm trying to get my digital cable box integrated with MP somehow. I have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD box - cable provided by Cox. From what I have read you can record and change channels via firewire. Info found here: [url=http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=403695&page=1&pp=30&highlight=6412+firewire]How to record via IEEE 1394 (Firewire) to Windows XP - AVS Forum[/url] Now from what I have read you need this little nifty program found here: [url=http://home.comcast.net/~timmmoore/firewire/readme.htm]MCE Firewire recording and channel change[/url] Ok for my first issue - this driver doesn't support 64 bit OS's - so I did some digging around and found this thread: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/improvement-suggestions-92/firewire-stb-tuner-support-19361/#post146535[/url] Which is what brings me here. I don't really care about recording via mp, I don't mind recording with my cable box. What I would like to do is get the tv listings (Cox San Diego) into media portal, select the show I want in the guide and have mp change the channel via IR blaster or firewire. Is this possible? I basically want to use mp as my tv guide instead of using the ugly one in my cable box. :thx: [/QUOTE]
