IIRC you still need to change your starting channel for the input you
have the VCR connected to to the channum that the 'dummy' channel has.
(And make sure the dummy channel has a channum) On a direct input
there is no real channel changing (unless you are controlling it
externally) but I think channels still need to be 'changed' to.

If you log in to the database, what output do you get from the
following queries:

> SELECT inputname,startchan,sourceid FROM cardinput WHERE cardinput.sourceid="4";
> SELECT channum,callsign,name,sourceid FROM channel WHERE channel.sourceid="4";

Hopefully there should be a match between startchan in the first query
and channum in the second (assuming your direct connection is
sourceid=4).
