• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.

I have both cable and Direct TV (don't ask) and I'm thinking about possibly using my DTV box as a source for my EyeTV unit. So I'm curious about how this works... do I have to have the box and its remote handy to change channels, or will I see a DTV Guide on my iMac screen and be able to mouse-control which station I want to view? Also, my DTV box has built-in tivo, so if I'm recording a game, do I record it on the DTV box or my Mac?

I'd be curious to hear from users who are actually using a DTV box with the EyeTV. And thanks in advance!
