[mythtv-users] Channel Changing using serial port on DCT-2244

[jim Peters]

I got it fixed, I am using the pre-compiled binary I mentioned, I just
had to add a new source for the card and then pull the listings from
the grabber. I was using the same source as I did for the qam card
that I had scanned for channels with.
