Derek is right, a shell script over ssh should do the trick. To allow one box to talk to the other with a password you need to set up an RSA key pair. Look here:<br><br><a href="http://www.cs.umd.edu/~arun/misc/ssh.html">

<br>to simply be an ssh /telnet call to the master, which then calls the<br>actual channel change script. It's reliability and responsiveness<br>could be questioned, but assuming it's a wired ethernet connection<br>between the two then I think the call would be reliable. The only draw
<br>back is that it might be a few extra seconds to change channels.<br><br>Just an idea...<br><br> - Derek<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
