I doubt that it matters who the cable company is. What
matters is what<br>
type of set top box you have. I have Comcast with two
completely<br>
different STBs, and firewire channel changing works fine
for me with<br>
both of them.<br>
<br>
Most STBs are either Motorola or Scientific Atlantic. The
Motorola ones<br>
will likely work with "6200ch". I used "mythchanger" for
the Scientific<br>
Atlanta box.<br>

I'm working on getting a SA3250HD from TWC working with a
HD-PVR. I've been using the sa3250ch channel changer. My
problem is that most of the channels I want are >1000 and
sa3250ch doesn't handle 4 digit channels. Does any one know of
a firewire channel changer for the SA3250HD that handles
4-digit channels. I've tried getting in and tinkering with the
source, but I haven't had much success.</blockquote>

<div>Did you try sending the channel as discrete keypresses,
using the -s option of sa3250ch?</div>

Looking through the source of the sa3250ch, the -s option send the
channel as one number '253'. The default is the send the channel as
three numbers '2', '5', '3'. Neither path allows for 4 digits. I've
played with the default path to encode 4 digits into the avc1394
cmd, but it doesn't work. I admit to not lookup the avc1394 api
calls.<br>
