Yes, though I did have to make some mods in the mythhdhrrecorder to comment out all the references to the systemd logging on raspbian. There was a bag of hurt in it when I tried to install the systemd dev stuff to try to get the systemd.h include installed.

I just told mythhdhrrecorder to use syslog for logging while running it.

I am looking at the schedules direct report on schedules direct.com for both the 00001 and 00002 versions and they both have the logical channel number column set to 1 for all 40+ channels on the premier list. 

Should schedules direct show the correct channel number? Or will I need to modify the table as I mentioned above to get the correct channel numbers for mythtv?


I have watched the 30 second samples via vlc, and they do work fine.

So once I have subscribed to the premier service the mythhdhrrecorder will see the correct channel numbers for the premium service from the hdhr4 tuner?

Thanks!
