Does anyone have a modified script that limits or only uses the 2 least significant digits that are sent from mythbackend to the change channel script?<br>
<br>
The background is that I have ive seen that the backend is reqesting channel numbers like 1043, when i only need to send 43 to the ir blaster. My script works when only using 2 digits, but when i setup the backend to use it and switch to that input nothing happens and livetv fails.<br>
I think the DTA goes nuts seeing a 4 digit channel, rather than a 0-99 channel.<br>
I based the script off the one in the mythtv contrib folder.<br><font color="#888888">

My older box didn't support that functionality, so that was my 'fix'. Works great.</div>
