Hi Didde, I had the same problem, MythTV really didn't do anything it seemed, the ivtvctl --get-freq never changed. I fixed it by instructing mythtv to use an external channel changing program and I then wrote this program to run ptune.pl and this worked like a charm Probably we both failed to see a point, but as a dirty solution it might help you. here is my external program $cat /usr/local/bin/mythchannelchange ptune.pl --freqtable custom -c $1 2>&1 >>/tmp/chan Hope this helps, Greetings Rutger _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
