[mythtv-users] directv.pl within MythTV

I can get directv.pl to change channels on the command
line, but it doesn't work within MythTV.  The error
from mythbackend appears to be:

...
2006-01-02 19:36:43.447 ret_pid(0) child(17816)
status(0x0)
Error excessive retries
2006-01-02 19:36:44.451 ret_pid(17816) child(17816)
status(0xff00)
2006-01-02 19:36:44.452 ChannelBase: external tuning
program exited with error 255
...

I've got a D10-100 and the command I'm using in MythTV
is:

/usr/share/mythtv/directv.pl setup_channel

I've even tried:

/usr/share/mythtv/directv.pl box_type D10-100
setup_channel

with no success.

I've seen quite a few posts on similar issues, but I
never saw any resolutions I can try.  I'm using the
latest versions of everything (MythTV, directv.pl,
etc).

Any help debugging this would be greatly appreciated.

Kirk
