I'd appreciate some feed back from current mythtv and DISH users.<br>We can only get 2 HD channels OTA with very low signal levels and none SD. Everyone else that lives near here that doesn't have DISH or DirectTv has several large directional 16' + antenna's.
<br><br>So to work with Mythtv with 2 tuners what do I need? The Dish 322 receiver has connections and remotes for 2 tv's but one is rf - so do I ask for 2 of the 311 receivers.<br><br>What do I get to control both of them from the mythtv? I see that there is a LIRC config for DISH on the wiki but what hardware do I need to run this.
<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration</a><br><br>The wiki mentions a CommandIR mini is anyone using this and can you recommend it?
<br><br><br>and I think I want to stay with SD recordings for now. If everything works right a hacked apple TV box will be all that is in the living room. So unless there are objections I think I'll record with a PVR-500. One question I had on that - does it get as hot as the 5 yr old pvr-250 that I have? That gets so hot I had to put another case fan right above it.
<br><br>My equipment is an old Dell P4 3ghz HT with 4 250g sata drives and 2 gig memory.<br>
