I have installed the directv.pl script in /usr/local/bin. I can run this script from the command line as root and the channel changes as I would expect.
I have placed the following line in the external channel change command line in the backend setup:
/usr/local/bin/directv.pl port /dev/ttyS0 box_type H20 setup_channel

Also:

/usr/local/bin/directv.pl port /dev/ttyUSB0 box_type H20 setup_channel

This is because I have two directv receivers. Both of those exact lines will work from the command line as root. The mythbackend is running as root.

The error I see in the log is as follows:

ChannelBase: external tuning program exited with error 255

I imagine there is a way to do some more logging but I'm currently recording Lost so I'm not shutting the backend down right now. :)

So does anybody have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks.
