Post subject:  MythTV and my cable box

I'm working on a mythtv box but one thing I was wondering was, will the mythtv box eliminate the need for my cable box. Will I be able to view the higher channels (digital calble) without the cable box provided for me by my cable provider (Charter).

Then how will the channel be changed on my cable box and on the mythtv box at the same time? I know on my tivo I have to use the ir remote cable that connects to the back of the tivo.

Bingo. You need to set up an IR blaster.

I don't use one myself, but a search for "IR blaster" should turn up plenty of info...
