I had this happen enough times that I turned my channel-changer into a
wrapper a long time ago:
# The menu button will turn on the STB if it's off
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.bin -g <GUID> -m
# If it wasn't off, press escape thrice
sleep 0.5
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.bin -g <GUID> -e
sleep 0.5
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.bin -g <GUID> -e
sleep 0.5
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.bin -g <GUID> -e
sleep 0.5
# Actually change the channel
touch /tmp/6200ch_was_here
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.bin -g <GUID> -4 $1
The downside is that channel changing via the HD-PVR source with this
change is slow enough to be unpleasant. On the other hand, I don't
really even think about watching live TV much, and I'm pretty sure that
I have fewer surprises in my recordings since making that change.
