Another user I have been working with is having this same issue.  Also
with a dish receiver, but using FC3 setup via Jarod's guide (myth 0.16
too).  Anyone using DISH (or not using DISH) have a clue what might be
going on?

After many long hours I think I'm down to the final gotcha.
I have a DISH 501 receiver that I am trying to control from
within myth.  I have the lirc-ledxmit stuff all in and
apparently working and I can call my "change_channel" script
by hand and it actually changes the channel on the receiver.

But when I enter ANY script name into mythtv-setup, in the
"External Channel Change Script" field, it never appears to
get called when I do a remote control channel change operation.

My channel changer script permissions are:   rwxr-xr-x
I've tried other scripts and programs with the same (none) results.
It just looks like Myth never invokes the script I've specified.

When I run the frontend with "--verbose all" I do get the following
one-liner each time I try a channel change operation:

timestamp   QUERY-RECORDER 1[]:[]CHANGE_CHANNEL[]:[]1

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong.

I am on the 0.16 myth Debian release.

Thanks

i'm sure you've thought of this before, but are you using the full path to the script (i.e. "/usr/local/bin/dish_chan.sh" and not just "dish_chan.sh")?


something i did with my script just to make sure it was being called was to echo something out to a local file:

echo $1 -- `date` >> /home/mythtv/chan.log
