All references below are to files installed with MythBuntu 10.04. YMMV.
I tried the channel changer script supplied in
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/channel_changers/dct2000serial,
but while it generated reactions, it couldn't get the STB to tune to
the desired station. No doubt because the STB firmware is too old
(3.38 vs documented minimum 7.54!
I was led (by this mailing list, thank you!) to try the one in
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/channel_changers/dct-channel.
I have no experience building from sources, but this channel changer
is only supplied as source, apparently, and a Makefile is supplied.
There is no README that describes how to install it, though. I tried
"make" and "make install" but I get the same error message in both
cases because there is "no rule supplied to make channel.c required by
channel.1".
How do I get this fixed so I can even try it out?
Craig.
