Hello all and just let me thank whoever made all of this possible and this easy so far!!! You people are GREAT!

I am using a PVR-350 with R5A16

Anyways, here is my questions:

I have two sat boxes. With two different providers. I would to use them both. However, they have the same channel numbers on different stations on both sat systems so they conflict eachother.

Is there anyone that can think of a way to get this to work right? If I name and label the channels differently then the Data-Direct stuff will not be correct. Can you in Myth set a pointer to the new channel number that data-direct thinks should be there according to the specified video source?
One source would be at s-video and the other say composite.

anyone with some ideas would be GREAT, again thank you for all your help!!

well it would be a big pain to mess with, but all datadirect really cares about to pull the listings is xmlid I believe, so as long as the xmlid is correct in the database I think it will still put the info. I'm not 100% on that, so you may want to just try one and see.

which way would you suggest that I try it first?

Thanks

The XMLID is all that matters. My setup is such that I have the channel numbers set different than what my datadirect guide info is. But my xmlid's match up and I get my guide data correct (though I don't get mine from two different lineups like you would). So you can call the channel numbers whatever you want, just have the correct xmlids. You might try it with a few channels rather than setting up all 300, to verify this.

ok does anyone know where I can get specs for the xmlid?

My question is: where can I get the proper xmlid for the channel?
I am going to try your seggestion on the channels but I dont know how you edit the xmlid for the guide info.

Thanks
Lee

if you have already pulled your guide from zap2it you will already have the xmlid's, other than that I have no idea where you would get them.

If you go to zap2it.com and put in your zip code, then select your listing, you'll get guide data. When you click on a station (or just hover over it) the URL will have the xmlid in it. Just hover over several different stations and you'll see the digits that change on the URL.

ok so I got it setup and the system doesnt change channels. Its a R5A16 system that works great otherwise.

I setup a second video source with all the scripts to change the channel the same way as the first video source. I assigned all the channels to the video source so the guide data will still work correctly.

As far as I can tell everything is the same for both inputs. I even ran a RCA to the capture card for the second video input. The first runs through the S-Video in.

The only thing that doesnt work is the channel changing for the second input. The first input changes fine with the reciever.

Please help!!

bump......anyone?

Is there anywhere else that knows about this stuff?

Thanks
