., 189 becomes 18 or 89) and, although recording starts at the correct time, the wrong channel's program is recorded. Other times, it seems LIRC isn't working correctly and no new channel is tuned via the IRBlaster, so the recording starts at the right time, but for the previously tuned (default) channel so, again, the wrong program is recorded. In the latter situation, I have to reboot my system so LIRC can load correctly. I don't know if the problem is with LIRC, the script, the IRBlaster, or the cable box. Probably each of those at some time or another. That's why I was hoping to eliminate all these variables by getting a new card with clear QAM support so the TV card itself can tune to the correct station without dependency on other devices and software. Unfortunately, my cable company's decision to remove most of the channels on their line-up from clear QAM has thwarted my plans. My rough guess is that it's 95%+ reliable, but it's very frustrating when there's a special program I want (worse yet, a program that my wife really wants) and it's the very one that records incorrectly. Life was much simpler before the cable company switched to digital signals and you could have your TV or TV card tune to the correct channel without being forced to use their box.

Re: [Freevo-users] FXD command files
Hi Bill, I use pykaraoke. It has a special mini frontend that's perfect - it launches full screen and is just simply a list of all the karaoke songs in the database (you can set this and update it from the main program) - the user just scrolls through the songs and selects whichever one they want. My requirements are for a robust system which family friends or guests can use intutively with a wiimote without (accidentally or intentionally) breaking out of freevo and into other parts of the system, so this integrates very easily. Now back to my problem, Francisco - is there anything you can think of that I might not have done with my shell scripts that may be causing me problems?
