Ok, i am using a channel changer for the sa3250.  it works great.  and I can
use anther script i found for power on off.  Now in the log I get:

You may need to manually set the channel on the receiving node.

I have tried adjusting the tv timeout along with which STB.  I have tried
Generic and all the SA.  All do the same thing.  Like before I can use
test-mpeg2 with no issues at all.

Thanks,
