Hi Neil, Do you have the script set to send the receiver PowerButton? Most power events are a toggle, if the power is on - turn it off, if it's off - turn it on. That can play havoc with mythtv if everytime you change a channel it sends a power signal.
I have dishnetwork receivers, I just leave them on most of the time, they don't use a lot of power. They DO have to be off to download and update software, so once a month I leave them off overnight. And . . . I'm using s-video straight from my vidcard to tv, no problems. --Pete On Wed, 09 Feb 2005 13:09:08 +0000, Neil Bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Around about 09/02/05 04:28, Andy Long typed ... > > Can you post a good chunk for your log files for us to look at? > > It was the back-end restart that was needed. > > When I first built the box back in Dec., I'd pre-empted myself and > put the name of the script 'skychannel' in the config.
