[mythtvnz] PVR150 channel changing woes

[Graeme Woollett]

I'm having trouble getting mythtv to change the channel using these cards.
I'm getting EPG from hairy geek - all that's working fine.  I couldn't 
get mythtv to natively change the channels so I used the external 
command and ivtv-tune to do this. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Time::Local;

my $cmd="ivtv-tune -tnewzealand -d /dev/video0 -c".$ARGV[0]."\n";
printf("Sending %s",$cmd);
`$cmd`;


The script is reported in mythbackend.log as having successfully run but 
the channel didn't get changed.  BTW this script works quite happily 
from the command line. >:o
Since mythtv doesn't for some strange reason make use of the external 
command for live TV I really would like to get it going natively.  I 
have configured PVR-x150 capture and tied it to my hairy geek video 
source from an empty mythconverg database using mythfilldatabase --manual.
Looking at the database tables with mysqlcc, the channel and card 
entries all seem to be correct.

Can anyone who has a PVR150 give any clues on how to get native channel 
changing going?

when mythtv tries to change the channel itself I get
QDateTime::String Parameter out of range messages from mythfrontend.


Thanks
Graeme
