[ale] Digital cable and Freevo/MythTV/Tivo/<insert pvr here>

[John Wells]

Robert,

So you don't actually use Tivo to switch channels?

I was under the impression that Tivo provides it's own channel guide,
which led me to believe that you'd use the Tivo itself to surf through
channels.  Is this not the case?

Thanks for your info...

John
