Personally, I wrapped directv.pl in a shell script.  This makes it
easier to control two HD-PVRs independently, and allowes a
double-check that the correct channel was selected:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/sh

if [ "X$1" = "X" ]; then
       echo "Usage: $0 <channel number>"
       echo
       exit;
fi

/usr/local/bin/directv.pl box_type H20 port /dev/hdpvrChannel0 on
/usr/local/bin/directv.pl box_type H20 port /dev/hdpvrChannel0 get_channel

/usr/local/bin/directv.pl box_type H20 port /dev/hdpvrChannel0
channel_change_type command setup_channel $1

if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    /usr/local/bin/directv.pl box_type H20 port /dev/hdpvrChannel0
channel_change_type command setup_channel $1
fi

sleep 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
