</div></div>That script should work with your box, but you would need to customise<br>
it appropriately by changing the config variables at the top.<br>
<br>
The script needs to be called as the first thing in the channel change<br>
script. The obvious place to put it is also in /usr/local/bin, and<br>
give it the same ownership and permissions as required by the channel<br>
change script.<br>
