Please do not top post. Please trim all the stuff you are not replying
to. You need to read up on mythtv to see whether all those connections
are necessary. My guess is that has to do with streaming channels from
multiple sources. I don't do mythtv. You need a tv license in the UK
for any TV and I don't have a tv. I'm cheap like that.
