The intention is that the invocation of LIveTV will return you to the
last channel watched... which may not actually be a good channel. I'm
not sure that your patch will do the trick.
To fix that I wrote a little script some years ago which just pokes
'good' values into the cardinput table, Just keep a console open and
reset things as needed, then open LiveTV
##############################
#!/bin/bash
#reset-channel: to poke a good value into startchan
#Two inputs: tuner to be re-set and channel to set to, defaults are allowed
if [ $1 = '' ];
then
Tuner='5'
Channel='43.1';
fi
if [ $1 != '' ];
then
Tuner=$1;
fi
if [ $2 = '' ];
then
Channel='43.1';
elif [ $2 != '' ];
then
Channel=$2;
fi
# Tuner='5'
# Channel='43.1';
#
echo "update cardinput set startchan = $Channel where cardid = $Tuner;"
> tempfile
echo "exit" >> tempfile
mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < tempfile
rm -f tempfile
