[mythtv-users] Mythhdhrrecorder and Silicondust Premier issues with tuning

[Jay Harbeston (ISeePeople)]

I have set up a test mythtv to determine how to use the Silicondust premier service, and am having puzzling results.

1. The channel number coming from Schedules direct are all set to 1, and not the values coming from the hdhr4-us tuner.

2. After studying mythhdhrrecorder, I also found that the url <ip addr>/linup.json only appears to be returning the OTA channels available even though I can see them along with the premier demo channels in <ip addr>/lineup.html.  In the lineup.html page, only the OTA channels can be ‘favorited’.

3. Looks like mythhdhrrecorder uses the lineup.json data to determine what channels can be tuned. Since none of the premier channels come across, none of the premier channels can be accessed via mythhdhrrecorder.

Work arounds:

I could go into the db and manually adjust the channel numbers for the 40 something channels that all have the channel number 1.

I’m not sure how I would go about a work around for not tuning the premier channels unless I go into mythhdhrrecorder and comment out the sections that are checking for a ‘valid’ channel.

Any one on the list have insight for the demo mode on these channels? 

I am guessing that when I go for the package that the limitations above would go away?

Thanks in advance!
