</div>Right now I am just using /bin/true, as I was having problems with the<br>
hdpvr locking up while using lirc for blasting (and I have no firewire<br>
port). But I will try creating a script to test it out.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5">_______________________________________________<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Guys,</div><div><br></div><div>I am seeing pretty much the identical problem. I have a DCX3200, and my HD-PVR goes unstable if I change channels with the IR blaster. It records the first show, and then, after that, all recording fail. If I turn off channel changes (which I've been doing by removing module lirc_zilog, not by removing the channel change script from the setup menu), it records without incident. Too bad the STB is delivering the wrong content :(</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I don't have a firewire card yet (got one in the mail), but I was hopeful this problem might be strictly related to the IR channel changer. Now, I'm not so sure. Could this be a problem with this particular STB? Maybe I'll swap this DCX3200 out for the older more clunky Motorola (6xxx, I think).</div>
