[mythtv-users] directv.pl channels below 100 won't display

[matt lutz]

What type of directv box do you have?

I know older versions of the directv.pl script had this problem after a
firmware upgrade (maybe a year ago?).  Make sure you don't have the older
one in your path somewhere.. is it possible that mythbackend is using the
wrong script?
