For live tv you press "info" on the remote which pops up the on screen
info like the current channel and a description of what is
playing. While this is up you can "browse" to other
channels. The Roku does support additional remote codes with
something like a harmony remote, but mythroku isn't updated to take
advantage of it yet.<br>

<br><br>With live TV, how do you change channels? The remote<br>appears to be lacking numbers and other functions.<br>Otherwise, this device looks sweet used in conjunction<br>with MythTV. I am tempted to sell my frontend and pick
<br>up one of these bad boys.<br><br><br><br><br><br>__________________________________<br>Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005<br><a href="http://mail.yahoo.com">http://mail.yahoo.com</a><br>_______________________________________________
