*First things first: Cut-n-paste error --- the rest of the 'if'
statement does exist Here is a re-do of the cut-n-paste of dish_chan.sh
cat /usr/local/bin/dish_chan.sh >> /home/gary/Desktop/ditest.txt
#!/bin/sh # SCRIPT 1: change the channel # # REMOTE_NAME=JVC_RAW
REMOTE_NAME=dish for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do irsend
SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit # sleep 0.4 # note this may have to be
adjusted up for some models sleep 0.3 # note this may have to be
adjusted up for some models done irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME select #
# asynchronously display the program info screen if [ -s
/usr/local/bin/dish_info.sh -a -x /usr/local/bin/dish_info.sh ] then
/usr/local/bin/dish_info.sh & fi More Info: The script was added to the
"Keypress Application" in the "General Setup" Here is a cut-m-paste of
the "Keypress Application" parameter entry -->
/usr/local/bin/dish_chan.sh I have been paying closer attention to what
is going on and it /appears /that when mythtv starts a schedualed
recording, it does NOT run the script shown in "keypress Application"
--- Is This True? If so then how do I tell mythtv to run this script
when it sets the channel for the scheduled recording? * Gary
