[mythtvnz] First time MythTV box - some questions...

[Phill Coxon]

Hi everyone, 

I've just picked up a very cheap PVR-150 so decided I should finally get
around to building a mythtv box into a crappy old compaq desktop I had
lying around. 

I've installed MythBuntu 8.04 and zoomed through the initial
configuration to get it up and running. 

The initial questions I have are:


1) How do I configure the remote / receiver?

The PVR-150 I bought came with two remotes - the one included in the
PVR-150 Media Center box with the square "windows" button (no model
number that I can find) and another brand new one with a round "windows"
button with a model number TSHA-IR01. 

The two IR receivers / transmitters look identical but have model
numbers TSES-IR01 and TSES-IR12 respectively. 

Can someone point me in the right direction as to which remote(s) +
receiver(s) I should be selecting from the config list?


2) I will be using this box to record content off our sky decoder so I
can watch movies / documentaries etc at a later date. 

What's the best way to connect the sky box ouput to the PVR-150? It has
a scart cable attached at the moment but no s-video lead.  Does anyone
know if I can replace that with a scart cable with s-video on it to plug
into the PVR-150? Otherwise I guess I'm stuck with the standard coax
connector. 

3) What's the best way to integrate mythtv so that I can select and mark
content I want to record?

Can I use the mythtv EPG to view sky listings, select programs to record
and have the IR blaster tell the sky box what to do at the right time?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
