Try the updated versions of the script. They are located at:

http://www.mit.edu/~je18337/directv/directv2.pl
http://www.mit.edu/~je18337/directv/directv3.pl

I'll admit I haven't done as good a job at version control as I should
have. the one that ends in v3 is the one I currently have in my own
/usr/local/bin directory. It has the "osd_on" and "osd_off" commands,
which work. Do not use the setup_channel command, just put a channel
number on the command line.

Try that out and let me know if it works.
