| Post subject: | R5C7 Channel_Change not working in Mythtv |
If I run /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh 122 from a command line, I can change to the channel on the Dish 811 receiver. This tells me it works. I have /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh in the external channel change command under the tuner card in setup. Channel changing does not work thru MythTv. I need some advice on this. I have a serial irblaster with an led, with a PVR 250 the channel_change.sh is as follows: Code: #!/bin/bash
echo "changing to $1" REMOTE_NAME=811 # $(grep ^[[:space:]]*name[[:space:]] /etc/irblaster/irblasterd.conf | awk '{ print $2 }') for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do sleep 0.2 /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit sleep 0.5 done /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME OK sleep 0.2 |

last time I saw someone complaining of a similar problem it was because they hadn't set frequency ids for their channels in mythtv-setup. I think you need to put the number that you want the blaster to send in the "Frequency or Channel" field on the second page of the channel setup for each channel. |

I did a reinstall, double checked the frequency settings, and changed the "default" setting to us cable, and it WORKED. I about had a heart attack. Been working on this many many months. So it is possible to control a dish 811 receiver 
thanks for the direction Greg. Dan |
