[mythtv-users] Channels above 125

Yep, that's why I asked about the channel table. If the channels aren't
in there, they won't be changed to in the OSD (If I understand the
system correctly). The fact that the EPG works would lead me to believe
that they are there, but double-check anyway.

Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] Channels above 125
I'm not using the tuner at all, there is no cable attached to the cable
input. The only thing attached to the PVR is my satellite receiver
through the s-video input and an audio cable.
Dish has channels numbering from as low as 2 all the way up to 9999. Of
course I don't get all those channels, but I do get channels that are in
that range. All the channels are listed on the EPG. The guide is
populated and updating correctly from DataDirect.
So, in the EPG there are channels listed WELL above 125, as high as
9000. No, there are not 9000 channels :) there is a lot of empty space
in that range.
I don't have IR set up yet, I'm in the process of building a
transceiver. But, if I use the keyboard and type in 25, the osd will
display "25 - - program info - -", if I then type in 126, the osd will
display "25 - - program info - -" if I type in ANY number above 125, the
osd will display "25 - - program info - -". if I type in 38, the osd
will display "38 - - program info - -" as long as the channel is BELOW
125 the osd updates.
It is not controlling the satellite receiver yet. I still have to use
the satellite remote to actually change the channel, but it should at
least be updating the osd when I type on keyboard.
If I type in 555 <enter> on the keyboard, myth should DISPLAY "555 - -
Program Info - - -" on the osd, whether or not it actually changed the
channel on the receiver, it should THINK it did.

Does you channel table in the mythconverg database have any
entries for channels > 125. If not, then I think that's why myth won't
change to those channels. If I'm understanding you correctly, you set
the cable box to some channel > 125 using the Sat remote, then press 'i'
in myth, then myth will show whatever the last channel it thought it was
on.

I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear in what I'm asking.
The PVR is set to use s-video, myth is set to use s-video, I
have nothing defined in myth to use anything other than s-video.
Hitting "c" does nothing since nothing is set as an alternative
to s-video.
myth can't set the osd to a channel that's not on the cable
tuner?
I understand that an external script can send the IR command to
whatever channel I want, it just seems weird that the osd is limited to
125 channels. ( I can see and browse to those channels, but if i select
one, it sends the command then displays something <125.)
If I am on channel 555 and hit "i" the OSD says that I'm on some
channel <125 and I can't tell what channel I'm actually on unless I grab
the Sat remote and hit display, then wait till the display catches up
with the DVR.
Does that make more sense to what I'm asking?
Thanks for the feedback,
--Pete

I think that's because you are telling the *PVR* tuner
to tune that - and it only goes to 125 so the command fails. When you
used the s-video there is no internal tuner, so the ch# is just passed
to the external script.

ok yes, that's part of it and I am in the
process of building a IR transceiver ( more to come on that later, you
guys may like this solution).
The other part is that myth doesn't change to
anything above 125. Say that I'm on ch25, and I want to switch to 255, I
type in 2552<enter> or <space>. Myth freezes for a few seconds and
displays ch25 on the OSD, if i go back into the EPG it says that I'm on
ch25. Is there a way to get myth to change the OSD and EPG to actually
change to channels above 125?

Well your question is not very clear.
Let assume that you want to change
chanels on your dishnetwork reciver that
is hooked up s-video then you need to
get lirc and wireless transmiter look
at
http://www.mmdsi.com/mythtv/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
After you installed all then you need to
go to setup and in source it should
let you select scrip that will change
chanels for you.
