Thanks for the reply Nick,

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work.  Basically when I press 'c' 
I get channel 2 (always), which is not what my digital box is tuned too.
Note: Digital box is connected to myth box via composite cables.  In
addition, pressing I or i -- doesn't tell me anything about what source
is being used.

Someone please educate this mislead soul...
