Thanks for the reply, but my channum and freqid fields match, and the
chanid is that number with the source # in front of it, so that looks
like it's not the issue.

what seems to be happening is that myth doesn't even try to run the
channel change script, it's like it's trying to tune /dev/video2
directly, even though I give it a script command to run.
