There's a script that comes with some versions of Myth called "6200ch" - I
use it within myth (and outside of it, to record stuff off the HD-PVR from
the command line) to change channels on my DCT-6200.  This is done via
firewire (even if you can't get any video over firewire, you should still
be able to use it to change channels).

6200ch -g (firewire node number) channum

works fine for me.

I am able to record from the HD-PVR from the CLI, but the blinkylights
don't come on when recording since the last firmware and Linux driver
upgrades (they do if I use it with a Windows box).  The fan does come on,
which is more important, though.  Anyone know what's up w/this?
