[mythtv-users] Channel change script on added channels

I am currently using a DCT-6200 hooked up to a PVR-150 via S-Video. I have
Comcast cable. I got the cable box so I could play around with firewire
capture, but I haven't got that to work reliably, and my frontend can't
handle HD, so there is little incentive for me to get firewire capture
working at this point.
I am, however, still using the cable box because it gives me access to all
of the HD channels downconverted over S-Video, even though I only subscribe
to basic cable.
Basically, I can only get ESPN by capturing the output from the cable
box.
I am using the 6200ch program to change channels via firewire, and it works
flawlessly from the command line, but it doesn't work for the 3 digit HD
channels when i attempt to change the channel from with myth. The error in
the backend output is "ChannelBase: external tuning program exited with
error 1"
All of the channels I am having trouble tuning to were manually added after
setting up the channel lineup at Zap2It. All of the program listings on the
channels are "Unknown(unknown)."
Has anyone out there experienced a similar problem? What is the exact
syntax I should be using for the external tuning program field, it is
currently "/usr/local/bin/6200ch"
Thanks,
Chris
