DSS and Antenna?
I have been trying to get my antenna and RCA DSS receiver connected up to MythTV.

I have one video cap card with the antenna connected to the TV connector. I can watch TV and everything is fine.
On a second WinTV card, I have the DSS unit connected to the s-video jack.
I think I have everything setup right and it grabs listing for both the antenna and DSS unit, but when I watch live TV, it
will only show the antenna.
I was sort of figuring it would just switch between the two as I changed channels. So when I hit the end of the local
antenna channels (30) it would jump to the DSS unit at the lowest channel (202).

Or am I missing something?

Thanks
Eddie

I believe there is a key to switch input device. It is not automatic as
far as I know. Check keys.txt in the mythtv tarball (or CVS tree).

It claims: V (toggle PinP), B (toggle "active" window for channel
changes), N (swap PinP and large screen)."C" change tuner card input.

See if that helps. If not, you might need some additional setup that I
don't know the details of. (I only have a single card setup from cable).
