Hi Everyone:

Running Mythtv-0.20-fixes from around 2007-01-15 on Ubuntu 6.06 via
WinTV PVR-250, and having a problem faking the external channel change
command (mythtv-setup->Input connections->/dev/video0
(S-Video->Cable-Box).

I have two video sources set up, Cable-Analog for channels 2-98, and
cable-box for channels higher than 98.  Cable-Analog is connected to the
tuner of the PVR-250 and Cable-Box is connected to the S-Video input.  I
know I can't use them both at the same time, and when watching TV via
mythfrontend, both work fine.

Scheduled recordings off Cable-Analog work fine, but in order to
schedule recordings off the cable box while waiting for my IR blaster to
arrive, I've put /bin/true in the External channel change command for
the S-Video->Cable-Box input connection and am manually selecting the
channel on the cable box.

When the time for recording starts, I get an "Error: Failed to set
channel..."  Any thoughts?  /bin/true exists and is -rwxr-xr-x
