[mythtv-users] New Sky+ App - control Sky box via tcp/ip network

[Michael Watson]

Updated version.  The response from the channel change doesn't seem to 
provide anything to determine if the change was successful or not, so 
after sending the channel change command, it now checks the current 
channel a second time, to check that it has changed to the correct channel.

I had thought of adding a function to download the channel data from 
http://tv.sky.com/channel/index, process and update the channel guide 
file we are using.

Enjoy.

Regards,
Michael Watson
