The Scientific Atlanta 4250HDC cable box is reported as being unsupported by the sa3250ch app. It also produces a warning with mythbackend's internal channel changer. The internal changer succeeds in changing the channel after all.

I took the skeleton of sa3250ch.c and the innards of firewiredevice.h/cpp and linuxavcinfo.h/cpp, and made this utility. It allows to change the channel, query the power status, and turn the unit on or off. I need it mainly because I switched to the Hauppauge HD-PVR.

From the help:

   Usage: sa_control [-v] [-q] [ channel | on | off ]

        -h : this help -v : verbose, multiple -v for more verbosity -q : query power status, also sets exit status

            <channel> : set channel, implies power on on : switch on off : switch off

   Examples: sa_control -q sa_control 702 sa_control off

Since the code comes from the internal changer, which does not take special action based on the SA model number (as far as I can tell), this should work for other models as well. I can test only my box, obviously.

Along the same lines, the "SA4250HDC" warning in firewiredevice.cpp around line 184 can be removed, as the commands succeed. I think this is too minor for a patch.

Update:

I added a new feature for a partial solution for cable boxes which take a long time to tune. There is a new -w <ms> switch that adds an artificial delay after the channel switch. This allows to adjust the channel change command to wait with the onset of the recording until the change has taken effect. One can cut out the usual first few seconds of the previous program in the recording.

sa_control -w 5000 702

will switch to channel 702 and theen wait another 5 seconds before exiting. The help file says now

# sa_control -h
Usage: sa_control [-v] [-q] [-w <ms> [ <channel> | on | off ]
       -h         : this help
       -v         : verbose, multiple -v for more verbosity
       -q         : query power status, also sets exit status
        <channel> : set channel, implies power on
       -w <ms>    : after a channel change, wait so many
                    more milliseconds to allow the box time to tune
        on        : switch on
        off       : switch off
Examples:
 sa_control -q
 sa_control 702
 sa_control -w 6000 702
 sa_control off

I have also cleaned up some of the comments in the code. I attach the whole new source file instead of a patch.
