[mythtv-users] Any way to force a delay before MythTV changes channels??

[Jason Weinstein]

I am working on getting myth MythTV box set up with: 1) an antenna
rotor that MythTV controls whenever changing channels and 2) digital
tv with my pcHDTV HD-3000.

I think I've got the rotor thing down. The rotor controller has an IR
remote so I am using lirc and a IR transmitter to control the rotor.
MythTV controls the rotor just like it would a cable or sattelite box.

Problem is that currently MythTV has a major (for what I'm trying to
do) bug in that if it tunes to a digital station that does not have a
strong signal then MythTV crashes/hangs/freezes.
So, I need for MythTV, when tuning to a digital station, to first run
a command that sends the IR signal to the rotor, then wait x number of
seconds, and then tune the HD-3000 to the desired channel.

Is this in any way possible??  Or can I expect that in the near future
the bug that causes MythTV to hang when tuning to a weak or
non-existant digital station?

Thanks much,

Jason
