lirc has the ability to output IR commands. a simple modification of the mencoder script to blast the channel number out is possible.
watch one and record another? same limitation as before, digital cable/sattelite doesnt give any extra capabilities except that you CANT watch digital cable while recording it as the freevo is using your digital cable box unless you rent another box from the cable company. now if freevo had the built in ability to switch mencoder commands from the regular tuner command to a custom command to send the IR command and record from the line-in instead, things would be easier. I.E. channel# is > setpoint.. use mencodercommand2 for all recording. although this would miss the scrambled lower channels that are descrambled by the box. maybe a channellist? if the channel# is = to the use_box number then use mencodercommand2? just a thought. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Griffiths [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 3:58 PM To: Freevo-Users Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] How to use Freevo with digital cable and/or satellite? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=freevo+cable On Fri, 21 Nov 2003 14:50:11 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Can I control my digital cable or satellite from Freevo?
