<span class="gmail_quote"></span>I can get directv.pl to change channels on the command line, but it won't work within MythTV for channels below 100. The error message in my mythbackend.log file is:<br><div style="direction: ltr;">

Both my mythtv user and the root user can run it. I've already check permissions on /dev/ttyS0 and it's owned by my mythtv user and group users.

When I try to change to a channel below 100, I get another odd channel. If I try channel 5 for example, I get channel 4828. The mythtv thinks it's on channel 5, but the directv displays channel 4828. I think that's where the "Excessive channel change retries, commanded 77250 got 4828" error is coming in.
