[QUOTE="Blue Energy, post: 695193, member: 109162"] Thanks for that, Ixian. Yes - that is [I]exactly[/I] what I would like to avoid. The truth is that the cable issue box is a very good deal, money-wise. I would not do this to save money. I'm looking for control and a single source for everything. MythTV can use the ir blasters in the HD PVR, but in my (seemingly endless) research it seems that even that has potential problems and requires a specific version of Linux. So - thanks for the bird-dog. I will keep that product in mind. Is it possible to use MediaPortal as a front-end for MythTV? Whoops - I had written the above some time ago and didn't post it until now. In the meantime there have been two more interesting posts. Wile E. and Ixian - it would seem that you have very different experiences with the same basic system. What is different in your setups? Something must cause one to work so much better than the other - what do you think it is? Is it possibly horsepower? [/QUOTE]
