[mythtv-users] I need a firewire command-line channel-changer

[Marc Barrett]

I need a command-line program to change the channel via
firewire with a Motorola DCH-3200.  

I found the following on a web page:
   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer
"for Motorola boxes other than the DCT6200, such as the DCH3200 
or the DCT3412, you need to use the newest version of the channel 
changer which is currently available from the MythTV SVN branch 
as of 1/08."

So, I grabbed the SVN development source, and compiled the 
6200ch.c source file.  But when I ran it, it still complained that it 
could not fine a DCT-6200 attached. 

I know that MythTV has the ability to change the channel on my 
DCH-3200, but it does so with no problems via the program guide.
I just need a command-line program to do it.  I need it so I
can put together a little script, together with firewire_tester, to
go through my channels and see which ones have the CCI 
flag enabled.
