Attached are the three files I use with my ntl box in the Warwick
franchise - this is a 5001 (blue-grey, with card slot on the left). I
hope the attachments survive the maillist...

lircd.conf lives in /etc, the other two I keep in /usr/local/sbin

Two important things to remember are:

- specify the change_channel script in the myth setup
- set the frequnecy id in the database for each channel

This last thing really got me stuck for a while. Myth sends the
frequency id to the channel changing script rather than the channel
number, which I didn't expect. In mysql you can 'update channel set
freqid = channum' if you've left the frequency ids blank.

Hope this helps get you working!

Best,
Nick
