I seem to remember a similar thread from a while back. I think the trick was to provide a dummy channel change script (such as you'd use to drive an ir-blaster) to make mythtv think it had successfully changed channel on your dish box. Otherwise mythtv thinks the channel change has failed so stays where it is.
