[mythtv-users] New to the whole DirecTV thang.

So, a couple of weeks ago my main TV went out.  I decided to upgrade to an
HDtv box.  Upon doing so, I realized just had *poor* my digital cable
signal was.  So I then decided to throw the cable out da window and get a
dish.  And I'm glad I did...it's SO much clearer.

Anyway, I got it hooked up today and I was shocked on how good the user
interface is now (much better than the receivers of yesteryear).  So, I
think I want to use the dish receiver's interface for most of the things. 
Does it seem like a bad idea to use Myth's OSD _only_ when I want to
schedule recordings?  I mean, why go thru all the trouble of getting
Myth's OSD to display everything I need when the dish receiver already has
all the info?

I'm thinking of mapping the pause, rewind, fast forward, play, etc. to
Myth but the other stuff will be done via the dish's receiver.  Does that
seem like a stupid idea?


Thanks for any input!
Jeremy
