<FONT COLOR="#000000">Yes - this is the best way to go. You shouldn't need to use the Sky EPG at all. You need to get the blaster working with the Sky box, which usually isn't too hard. You'll also need to get the Sky EPG data into mythtv - probably via a download in your case. If you've got Sky Digital I'd seriously consider getting a DVB card too. That would get you Freeview and allow you to grab the Sky EPG directly from the satellite.</FONT><BR>
