IIRC there was once a post on how to make a "fake" channel which was
really an alternate input device.
My primary television service is OTA, Thus I'm set up for OTA I would
like to map a channel or make a channel that is in fact "input 2" since
I'm currently feeding an FTA receiver into input 2 (And for that matter
I have cables on input 1 as well)
Does anyone remember how to do this or is it even possible on a 55xx
using broadcast settings? |

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. The problems is..... That messes
up some other things. |

Now that sounds like it might work... And with just a little bit of luck
I can address another issue at the same time... Will try that |

And this would be necessary for what reason?? You can already define an
aux input to be attached to "other" w/o changing your line-up in any
way. You can then manually schedule single or recurring recordings on
this input to record anything you desire. |

Saves time when you are recording from the AUX input of course. Saves
