I saw, only your 'Inputs/Input' queries are not there with me.
(DisplayName, ScheduleOrder and LiveTVOrder)
How do I interpret the status codes.
I saw 0 = inactive, 7 = recording and -1 = Not connected.

By the way you can query from another host, but then you have to
integrate IP or fully qualified hostname in the script. Now it queries
localhost.
