[mythtv-users] Changing channel using external command line

[Husam Senussi]

I have usb module which I'm using with my Digital sky box to change  
the change the channel,
the box comes with command line which could be used to do that (.sky- 
control-usb --sky --channel <channel number>).

Anyway thanks simple query on  the database shows freqid was empty.

Thanks :)
