[mythtv-users] Tuner Rollover

[DISAFAN]

Unfortunately, I have the SA3250HD box, not the 6200, there is no GUID 
option on that, which your script uses.  But that shouldn't be a 
problem. Also it uses Broadcast, I use P2P. But it could be modified for 
that as well.

I've discovered a few things. I have a program I cobbled together from 
online code that sends a  power on signal to the box, and another that 
sends off, then on. That often seems to help as part of the reset 
process, and between your program, which has some good thoughts, and 
Benton Roberts' channel changing program, I may have to cobble together 
my own program that suits my finicky system.

Still doesn't answer whether or not the recorder failed error could 
produce rollover onto an alternate tuner though.
