thank you, this helps a lot. i definatley misunderstood the wiki.
i'll see if i can work on a script for the VCR_CMD but i haven't had much
luck so far. i've basically got (in short):
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tunerX/channel XX
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tunerX/program XX
nc -l -p 1239 &
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set target ip_address:1239
sleep 30
and this has worked fine from the command line, but it doesn't record
anything when run from within freevo. and i can't find anything in logs
anywhere! :( hmmm...
