In mythbackend, setup an external channel changer on that input, and it
won't use the internal firewire channel changer.  The problem is finding one
that works for your STB.  Try the the changer here:

http://code.google.com/p/stb-command/

and see if it works with your STB.  If it does, you can make a script that
runs the channel changer and then does a sleep.
