[mythtv-users] Myth can't change channels on my dct2000

[Owen Mehegan]

I definitely need at least the -p /dev/ttyUSB0 because the default  
serial port is being used by something else. This is the error I see  
in the mythbackend.log:

Invalid channel: 187250
valid channels are 1 - 999
Usage: /usr/local/bin/channel [options] [channel]
   -p, --port port              serial port (default: /dev/ttyS0)
   -f, --force                  keep going after communication errors
   -o, --ok                     send OK after channel number
   -b, --blind                  send keys blindly and ignore returned  
data
   -n, --nopower                never attempt to turn box on
   -t, --timeout scale          scale all timeouts by this much  
(default 1.0)
   -q, --quiet                  suppress printing of channel on exit
   -v, --verbose                be verbose (use twice for extra  
debugging)
   -h, --help                   this help
   -V, --version                show program version and exit


So something is messed up... where is it getting that crazy channel  
number? That was in an attempt to switch to channel 9.
