[mythtv-users] PVR-250 and NTL Cable in the UK

Hi,

Yes The serial one is the one that you want.

>>2) There is a Linux command-line utility to control the channels (at

Right I use LIRC with the supplied remote to control the MythTV Box. I 
use the software on the redremote site to control the NTL Pace box. I 
have not wrapped the redremote application, I just call it directly from 
mythTV, in the settings box provided.
If you do not want to use the PVR250 remote to control mythtv then you 
do not need lirc.


>>3) When you referred to "using a hacked version of the supplied linux
>>driver", are you referring to the software you can download from the
>>RedRemote web site?

>>Derek

Yes.
