<TITLE> Firewire script to check which node is active and change channel with the right node.</TITLE>

<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I, like others, find that from time to time my cable box changes node as can be seen from using plugreport. I wrote this little script to check which node it was on and then call 6200ch.exe to change channel/record to avoid lost recordings. Thought it might be of more general interest so here it is.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
#!/bin/sh<BR>
#$1 is the first argument to the script. It is the channel as passed by mythtv<BR>
<BR>
NODE=$(plugreport |grep -B 2 bcast_channel|grep Node|cut -d " " -f 2)<BR>
/usr/local/bin/6200ch.exe -n $NODE $1<BR>
<BR>
save this as say channel.sh and use it as the channel changer.<BR>
