Moving this from the -dev list since this discussion belongs on the - 
users list.

HD-PVR comes with an IR blaster for changing channels. I haven't used  
it because I change channels on my STB with with a serial cable.  
However you are currently tuning is how you should continue to tune.

I am running two HD-PVR's on my backend. They work just fine. The only  
issue I have is that they sometimes swap devices on me and I can't  
find anything different enough about them to institute a udev rule to  
keep them from doing that. Every time I reboot my machine, I have to  
make sure the channel change script is changing the STB connected to  
the correct HD-PVR. Once that's done (it usually needs no  
modification), everything works fine.

By the way.. I just install libx264 from last night's build and I'm  
still getting an error compiling trunk (19089):
libx264.c: In function ‘X264_init’:
libx264.c:165: error: ‘x264_param_t’ has no member named  
‘b_bframe_adaptive’
libx264.c:230: error: ‘struct <anonymous>’ has no member named  
‘b_bidir_me’
libx264.c:231: error: ‘struct <anonymous>’ has no member named  
‘b_bframe_rdo’

If anyone has a recommendation, I'm all ears.
