i have a question that is surely more related to mythtv than to the xbox front end of it, but i'm sure some of you can answer it...
does the xbox/mythtv combo support multiple satellite (or cable) set-top boxes ?
i'm just wondering if mythtv supports the control of satellite boxes through ir emitters ?
my current set up (with xp mce and extender for xbox) is this :
- remote control sends signal to xbox to "select a channel" for example
- xbox sends control signal through ethernet to media center pc
- media center pc creates ir signal, and sends it through the ir emitter (which is connected on a usb port) to the satellite stb
- stb receives ir signal, and changes channel
- new channel feed enters tuner card
- feed is streamed back to xbox
is that supported with mythtv / xbox front-end ?
