Man, I kinda thought I was missing something stupid....
I was right.
Thanks Bruce- that did the trick indeed.
All I need to do now is get all the channels entered and corrected and I should actually be good to go.

| Post subject: | Channel changing wonky- many possible causes |
Long story short: My setup is currently a PVR350 connected via s-video in to a Motorola QIP6416-2 (which can also display directly on an HDTV.) I am using a CommandIR unit for remotes. The PVR350 and Olevia HDTV remotes scanned fine and work with no issues. The QIP6416 remote did not: irrecord was used and was only able to get RAW codes (this may be part of the problem?) I am able to control the tv and Motorola STB from the console using irsend. I can use a channel changing script to change channels on the STB FROM THE CONSOLE. (The ones included did not always work correctly but one from CommandIR does.) MythTV works fine when I use the STB remote to select channels, but that is not sufficient, of course. I can NOT get channel changing to work in MythTV. When I try to change channels to a specific number (say 160) I may get 50, or 225 or something, but never what I had asked for. This happens no matter what channel I try to get. I really would like to get Myth running properly with this setup and it seems that I am very close- But I am just now working with an external tuner for the first time and I don't know if the problem is with my MythTV config, the changer scripts or the fact that I can only get RAW codes for the Motorola STB. Any help is appreciated. |

In the Channel Editor in mythtv-setup (or MythWeb), have you put in the Frequency text box, for each channel, the number which you need to send to the STB to select that channel? Bruce S |

Just a note- things area working now, for the most part. The only issue now is that the STB I have uses RAW codes and that these don't seem so reliable. 2 digit channels seem ok, but 3 digit channels periodically screw up, especially if the channels have not been changed in a while. There may BE no fix for this; I haven't found one. |
