[mythtv-users] Wrote Script to Power on Cable Box

[jr]

I have been having trouble with my Cable Box shutting off on a weekly
basis.  Usually at some point during the weekend so that Sunday or
Monday night shows are lost.  After a bit of research, I finally sat
down last night and wrote a script to cat from my HDPVR into a file
for 5 secs, then check the file size.  If its zero, then I use my
channel change script to power on the tuner. Is that going to work
with any type of reliability?
