[mythtv-users] Is anybody able to change channels on a 4250HDC STB via firewire?

You are going to have to debug this lower down. I haven't seen these 
vendor IDs on an SA4250 (not necessarily an issue) and the Model ID of 0 
is unusual to me as well. Your thread however indicates you compiled 
those values into the channel changer.

In an earlier email you found:
/sa4250_ch -v
node 0: vendor_id = 0x00001106 model_id = 0x00000000
node 1: vendor_id = 0x000022ce model_id = 0x000010cc

22ce IS a Scientific Atlanta box and 10cc is a model as well. Have you 
tried this pair? Your thread suggests you did not.

I also asked you earlier for an output of plugreport and you did not do 
this. Can you do this?

sa4250_ch_new also has a "-n" parameter so if you have the constants 
correct then perhaps you want the following command:
sa4250_ch_new -n 1 -v 56
