[mythtv-users] directv.pl within MythTV
I can get directv.pl to change channels on the command line, but it doesn't work within MythTV. The error from mythbackend appears to be: ... 2006-01-02 19:36:43.447 ret_pid(0) child(17816) status(0x0) Error excessive retries 2006-01-02 19:36:44.451 ret_pid(17816) child(17816) status(0xff00) 2006-01-02 19:36:44.452 ChannelBase: external tuning program exited with error 255 ... I've got a D10-100 and the command I'm using in MythTV is: /usr/share/mythtv/directv.pl setup_channel I've even tried: /usr/share/mythtv/directv.pl box_type D10-100 setup_channel with no success. I've seen quite a few posts on similar issues, but I never saw any resolutions I can try. I'm using the latest versions of everything (MythTV, directv.pl, etc).
