G+_Brandon Butler Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Can someone give me some help with setting up my MythTV box? I have setup my MythTV box. I am able to watch tv but can only change the channel by the cable box remote. I need help in setting it up to change the channels through the Mythtv box. I have a Motorola QIP7100 2 Set top box. I have it connected via firewire to the Mythtv box. I'm not sure how to configure it to change channels via the firewire connection. I know some data can be transmitted over the cable because I originally tried to get the video over it but its locked. Alternatively I've also considered using either an IR blaster or a serial cable. If anyone has a functioning setup using any of these configurations I'd appreciate your help with getting this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ron Tostevin Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sorry Brandon. They promised, but never delivered. They did do a great show on media centers in general, and turned me on to Plex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Perry Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sorry Ron Tostevin just noticed your comment. I would love to see a follow up that builds on the Plex episode, a brief mention to visit episode 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brandon Butler Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I have done a little bit more research and decided to go with the HDHomeRun Prime. From what I have read, it will work out of the box with Mythtv. I'll just need to get a cable card from Verizon. I also have Plex installed as well. When I get it all setup my plan is to use Mythweb to schedule the recordings and watch them via Plex on my Roku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If you look into it there are some tutorials on how to I corporate a local stream such as the HDHomeRun into Plex, only problem is there is mixed reviews. I have a feeling you need your know hole full before you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
