Post subject:	Help with this motorola digital cable box and changing chan
Ok here is the run down. I had a gentoo install of mythtv i compiled dct-channel and was able to change the channel on my digital cable box through serial. It had a binch of issues and i wanted a fresh start so I reloaded with knoppmyth since it would be much faster. I unpacked mythtv src and compiled dct-channel now i cant change the channel anymore. Code: ./channel -v Attempting to initialize DCT No response to packet No response to init_1; trying to continue No response to packet No response to initialize_2 Initialization failed Attempting to initialize DCT No response to packet No response to init_1; trying to continue No response to packet No response to initialize_2 Initialization failed Attempting to initialize DCT No response to packet No response to init_1; trying to continue No response to packet No response to initialize_2 Initialization failed Attempting to initialize DCT No response to packet No response to init_1; trying to continue No response to packet No response to initialize_2 Initialization failed Attempting to initialize DCT No response to packet No response to init_1; trying to continue No response to packet No response to initialize_2 Initialization failed Communication failed after 5 tries 0 but if i do something like Code: ./channel -f 400 Communication failed after 5 tries 0 my digital cable box will act funny. for example it will switch on the display from the current channel to 0 then back to current channel then to 0 ect .... several times then it just suts off. So it appears that i am getting something sent through or my box wouldnt freak out and power down when i force it. regular channel change dosnt work Code: ./channel 400 Communication failed after 5 tries 0 and yes 400 is a valid channel for me. ive also tried with other channels but now im totally baffeled and lost as to why it was working and now isnt workiing.
