If you are using the 6200ch script, you must add the STB's vendorID
and modelID in the source code and recompile.
I found it by running 6200ch with the args:

6200ch -v -n <node> 2

example for node 0:

6200ch -v -n0 2

This will report the vendorID and modelID that you need to place in
6200ch. You add it to the top of the code and there is a place near
the bottom to add as well.

If you are not using 6200ch, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.
