[mythtv-users] Channnel changing problems with HD-PVR & commandir

[Jason]

I have three HD-PVRs on my system running .26 Mythtv. I have set
udev rules up to tie down the devices to keep them from shifting on me.
I use a commandir with just using the command line interface commands to
change my channels. 

The commandir scripts, which I have three of them,
are set as follows: 

for video0 - I don't have a sleep command before
the channel change. 
for video1 - A 8 second sleep command before the
channel change. 
for video2 - A 16 second sleep command before the
channel change. 

The sleep command is used to prevent the three scripts
from colliding with each other if 3 shows start at the same time. 

My
problem is this will work fine for most of the time. But then I get
channels not changing properly on a couple of the HD-PVRs. It seems to
jump around a bit at random and then return to normal. I can watch each
tuner and change channels without any problems. 

I was wondering if
anyone had any thoughts. I wouldn't think the MythTV system getting
channel lock on the channel would matter but could that be affecting it?


This does seem to happen more at night and my system is relatively new
so it is recording often catching old shows. Could I just need to
increase the sleep counts? 

I also don't have a pretune channel set.
Just the starting channel is set. 

Thank you for any input.
