Hi Nick,
Thanks for your detailed reply!

I got the following output on syslog when I loaded lirc module.

As you told that my change channel script won't work without finding the
code set for my DVB ,but in that blog he attached the code set file for
different DVBs but in that one for my DVB is not included and even I failed
to find it from search engine!

So how should I have to proceed now?
