[mythtv-users] composite doesn't work from scheduled recordings

[Shane Hollaway]

I had a similar issue when I first setup my box before I got my ir
blaster.  I was trying to just schedule some recordings in myth and
just setting the channel manually on the cable box, but it wasn't
recording anything.  In the end I created a script for changing
channels that didn't do anything, pointed Myth at it, and hey presto,
it then started recording my scheduled shows off the composite in on
my pvr150.

I guess Myth just wanted to think it was changing to the right channel?
