At my house we have three satellite receivers; what I want to do is centralize the three receivers into a myth server, and then have a myth front end on each of the TVs. However, I have no idea how to go about doing this; how would I control the satellite through a Myth front end? I would rather only have a single remote for each myth front end, but I don't know. |

you need a backend (that can also be one of your frontends) with 3 capture cards. each fornt end needs a single remote |

the remote controls the front end. the front end asks the backend to select a tuner that can tune to the channel selected. the backend will use IRBlasters to set teh correct channel on the SAT box |

IR blaster which is taped to the sensor for each satellite box in the stack. The frontend (FE) gets a signal from it's remote, and sends a request to the backend (BE). The backend runs an external tuning script (examples are included in the install) which talks to the lirc driver, which sends a signal to the IR blaster dongle, which sends photons to the IR sensor in the sat. box, which thinks it just got a signal from it's own remote and changes the channel. |

Thanks, I didn't realize such a thing exists. Now that I do, I should be able to find them now. |
