Hi,

I have two questions, really, to which I haven't been able to find an answer.

I have a media center pc with a dual tuner card. I would like to be able to use my cable box, but I'd also like to be able to take advantage of the ability to record two shows at once. Is there a way to configure XPMCE to use my cable box connected by S-Video and stereo audio and still use regular cable on the coax input? I can use my cable box with MCE, but I'd really like to use both.

My other question is: My cable box has an ir input on the back. Can I just use a mono 1/8th cable and directly connect the IR out on my remote sensor to the IR in on my box without using the little IR transmitter stick-on?

Thanks
Jeff
