Sa4250 ch guid
Note: The correct title of this article is sa4250_ch_guid. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

| Description | Channel-change script for use with Scientific Atlanta SA4250HD cable box using GUID. |
| Supports |
My Myth setup includes two SA4250HD STBs, which I control using Firewire. I've been using MajorIdiot's sa4250_ch channel changing program, but found it didn't handle multiple STBs well, so I modified it a bit.
My new setup has a shell wrapper, sa4250_ch_guid, and a modified version of Major's channel changer, sa4250_ch.
Invoke sa4250_ch_guid with the GUID of the box you want to control and the channel as parameters. You don't need the whole GUID, just enough of it to be a unique search key (there is no checking of this so make sure you have it right).
sa4250_ch_guid determines the node number of the STB with the given GUID and passes that as a parameter to sa4250_ch. This is necessary because node numbers often seem to change at unpredictable times.
