I'm not using the tuner at all, there is no cable attached to the cable
input. The only thing attached to the PVR is my satellite receiver
through the s-video input and an audio cable.<br>
Dish has channels numbering from as low as 2 all the way up to 9999. Of
course I don't get all those channels, but I do get channels that are in
that range. All the channels are listed on the EPG. The guide is
populated and updating correctly from DataDirect.<br><br>
So, in the EPG there are channels listed WELL above 125, as high as 9000.
No, there are not 9000 channels :) there is a lot of empty space in
that range.<br><br>
I don't have IR set up yet, I'm in the process of building a transceiver.
But, if I use the keyboard and type in 25, the osd will display "25
- - program info - -", if I then type in 126, the osd will display
"25 - - program info - -" if I type in ANY number above 125,
the osd will display "25 - - program info - -". if I type in
38, the osd will display "38 - - program info - -" as long as
the channel is BELOW 125 the osd updates.<br><br>
It is not controlling the satellite receiver yet. I still have to use the
satellite remote to actually change the channel, but it should at least
be updating the osd when I type on keyboard.<br><br>
If I type in 555 <enter> on the keyboard, myth should DISPLAY
"555 - - Program Info - - -" on the osd, whether or not it
actually changed the channel on the receiver, it should THINK it did.

not, then I think that's why myth won't change to those channels.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you set the cable box to some channel

show whatever the last channel it thought it was on.<br>

I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear in what I'm asking.<br><br>
The PVR is set to use s-video, myth is set to use s-video, I have nothing
defined in myth to use anything other than s-video.<br>
Hitting "c" does nothing since nothing is set as an alternative
to s-video.<br><br>
myth can't set the osd to a channel that's not on the cable tuner?
<br><br>
I understand that an external script can send the IR command to whatever
channel I want, it just seems weird that the osd is limited to 125
channels. ( I can see and browse to those channels, but if i select one,
it sends the command then displays something <125.) <br><br>
If I am on channel 555 and hit "i" the OSD says that I'm on
some channel <125 and I can't tell what channel I'm actually on unless
I grab the Sat remote and hit display, then wait till the display catches
up with the DVR.<br><br>
Does that make more sense to what I'm asking?<br><br>
Thanks for the feedback,<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I think that's because you are
telling the *PVR* tuner to tune that - and it only goes to 125 so the
command fails. When you used the s-video there is no internal tuner, so
the ch# is just passed to the external script.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">ok yes, that's part of it and I
am in the process of building a IR transceiver ( more to come on that
later, you guys may like this solution).<br><br>
The other part is that myth doesn't change to anything above 125. Say
that I'm on ch25, and I want to switch to 255, I type in
2552<enter> or <space>. Myth freezes for a few seconds and
displays ch25 on the OSD, if i go back into the EPG it says that I'm on
ch25. Is there a way to get myth to change the OSD and EPG to actually
change to channels above 125?<br><br>

Let assume that you want to change chanels on your dishnetwork reciver
that<br>
is hooked up s-video then you need to get lirc and wireless transmiter

After you installed all then you need to go to setup and in source it
should<br>
let you select scrip that will change chanels for you.<br>
