just upgraded trunk this morning to 25144 and am no longer able to change the channel with
6200ch via mythbackend.  it works fine from the command line:

 [10:24am]# /usr/local/bin/6200ch -v -n 0 -4 570
starting with node: 0
node 0: vendor_id = 0x00001cfb model_id = 0x00007100
chn: 570
AV/C Command: 0570 = Op1=0x00487C20 Op2=0x00487C25 Op3=0x00487C27 Op4=0x00487C20
Sending digit 0
Sending digit 5

and here is the mythbackend log when it tries to change the channel:

it seems like the channel number is no longer getting passed to the external channel changer.
is anyone else having this problem?
