Oh yea, I forgot about that part. Let me look at BeyondTV and see how they
handle it. But if I remember right, it has the directTV programming as a
download package.

very cool Jerrod, I've got the Hauppauge but Dishnetwork instead of DirecTV
- d'oh!


Brad what I do with good ol' dishnetwork is separately program the dish
receiver to switch

to the right channel at the right time, run a direct cable from receiver (it
has 2 sets of outputs)

to computer, and then separately set timer on computer app. Recently I got
VNC going and

router table settings so that I can "channel" the PC from home to record
something, but I can't

seem to get the telepathy thing going to control the Dish channels on the
receiver...

You can buy a Hauppage PVR-250 and buy BeyondTV 3 from Snapstream. The
Snapstream software has programming for cable access as well as direct tv,
and the PVR-250 interfaces with it very well. You can get the PVR-250 for
$150 local, maybe less on the internet. You can get BeyondTV on the internet
for ~$40 or so. It's what I use at home and I know for sure it has DirecTV
programming you can download.

Does anyone out there use direct tv or dish for cable access and use a
capture card in the PC to capture it with?  I have moved to non cox
supported area and am getting ready to get it setup and have a few questions
about controlling the tuner.  My understanding is that it can't be
controlled though the PC like it was on Cox.  If you program a show to be
recorded then the tuner will have to be manually set and left on the channel
before the recording takes place.  Well just seeing if anyone else has run
into this....
