Hooray! No, I mean HOORAYYYY!

Majoridiot's script works! I had to explicitly state the SA4250HDC alternate
option, but it changes channels! I change to channel 786, for example by
running mythchanger -c 786 -f 4

I'm not exactly sure how to format that in Myth's external channel changer
option, but it appears that my mythbox has lost its HD-PVR over the course
of recent trunk updates, so I'll need to get that fixed first.

Thank you for all the help! And a big thanks to majoridiot for his script!
