If you haven't already, run the setup program and go through
steps 1 and 2. In 3, create a video source for you digital
cable provider. In setp 4, choose S-Video. Select the Video
Source and enter "/bin/true" as the temporary External channel
change command. Run mythfilldatabase to get your listing then
run mythfrontend to choose the shows that you want to record.
You will need to remember to manually change the channel
before the record time. Once you have lirc working, replace
/bin/true with the actual command that will change channels
for you.
