Brian, would there be a better way to deal with having a DirecTV and
Dish Network?

Maybe I can make one of them go through coax?

Worst case, I could probably use just one. Any suggestions? I want to
get SOMETHING to work. 

Also, I have a bunch of .avi's  on a shared drive, can I use MythTV to
watch those?

thanks a lot
