HDHomerun with custom Channel Change script?

Post by phackmann »

Hi all. I'm trying to do an odd hardware arrangement and need some advice. I have a directv stb that I am running into an HDMI to ATSC converter, that I then want to run into an HDhomerun box and then recorded on my mythtv box. As far as the hardware connection is concerned it should all work as long as I have matching channels on the converter and the HDHomerun. The problem is tuner setup in the software in mythtv. The standard HDHomerun tuner setup doesn't have an option to do an external channel change script as far as I know. And the directv box and schedule use one set of channels, and the HDHomerun uses a different set of channels. So, I need to do some sort of custom script to tell the directv box to change to one channel, and the HDHomerun to ignore that channel info and use a different one. So, does anyone know a way to wedge a channel change script into the standard HDHomerun tuner setup? Or, what would be the better way to make this work? Thanks everyone.
