Thanks. That seemed to work for me. I now see those channels in my
listings. Now, if I want to record a show on one of those channels, how
do I do that? I know that I just schedule the recording as normal, but
do I have the channel change command right? I have (in mythtv-setup
under Input Connections):
/usr/local/bin/6200ch -n 0 %CHANID%
Is that right? I need Myth to change the channel on the STB to record
some of those programs and I thought I saw somewhere that's how you did it.
Thanks for the help!
Harry
