I am currently using a DCT-6200 hooked up to a PVR-150 via S-Video.  I have Comcast cable.  I got the cable box so I could play around with firewire capture, but I haven't got that to work reliably, and my frontend can't handle HD, so there is little incentive for me to get firewire capture working at this point.

I am, however, still using the cable box because it gives me access to all of the HD channels downconverted over S-Video, even though I only subscribe to basic cable. 

Basically, I can only get  ESPN by capturing the output from the cable box.  

I am using the 6200ch program to change channels via firewire, and it works flawlessly from the command line, but it doesn't work for the 3 digit HD channels when i attempt to change the channel from with myth.  The error  in the backend output is  "ChannelBase: external tuning program exited with error 1"

All of the channels I am having trouble tuning to were manually added after setting up the channel lineup at Zap2It.  All of the program listings on the channels are "Unknown(unknown)."

Has anyone out there experienced a similar problem?  What is the exact syntax I should be using for the external tuning program field,  it is currently "/usr/local/bin/6200ch"

Thanks,
Chris
