<pre>Hi,</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre> I have been running Mythtv for around 15 years. I can usually figure </pre>
<pre>things out on my own,but channel changing has me baffled. I want to use </pre>
<pre>firewire for changing channels.. I have all the right files installed </pre>
<pre>and I can change channels using a terminal out side of Mythtv.. I know </pre>
<pre>its working,by using cat to start a stream from my hdpvr 1212,then open </pre>
<pre>another terminal and send a channel change 6200ch -g </pre>
<pre>0xb81619fffe2805bd -4 13. The stb changes the channel, and the stream </pre>
<pre>changes to channel 13. I have tried every command line I have found on </pre>
<pre>the net and no joy..</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre> I don't see anything useful in the logs..</pre>

<pre>i have same box and firewire card. but i use both hdpvr and firewire to record depending on the channel (i am with specturm</pre>
<pre>- time warner in cal/usa). you did not say above whether you made a channel change script for the hdpvr. maybe that's whats missing.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>mine looks like this:</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>#!/bin/bash</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>b=999</pre>
<pre>if [ -f /home/mythtv/fire ]</pre>
<pre> then</pre>
<pre> rm /home/mythtv/fire</pre>
<pre>fi</pre>
<pre>if [ -f /home/mythtv/pvr ]</pre>
<pre> then</pre>
<pre> rm /home/mythtv/pvr</pre>
<pre>fi</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>touch /home/mythtv/pvr</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>if [ "$1" -gt "$b" ]</pre>
<pre>then</pre>
<pre> 6200ch -g 0x6455b1fffe293e3b -4 "$1"</pre>
<pre>else</pre>
<pre> 6200ch -g 0x6455b1fffe293e3b "$1"</pre>
<pre>fi</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>you would not need the top part, i am just placing an empty file to know which was last tuned as i have a 'priming' </pre>
<pre>script that sets the box up for firewire recording.and of course every guid is unique to box.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>script name goes into setup under input connections and it must have correct privleges for backend to run it.</pre>

<p>Thanks for the script.. I had been using .6200ch with out a
script in the past.. I did finally get it going,of all things it
was as simple as leaving off the trailing / at the end of the
path.. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks again<br>
