MYTH TV: select not changing channels on program guide

    Hi,

    I posted this query over in www.mythtvtalk.com but it is most likely other Irish myth tv users would have similar setup to mine, so there is no harm in saking here as well.

    Firstly some info about my setup.
    I am currently running Mythbuntu 7.10 (which has mythtv 0.20.1 i think).
    I am based in Ireland and use XMLTV to grab the program data.
    I use an MCE remote.
    The frontend and backend are running on the same computer.
    I have a SKY set top box and I control this using a device called dusky control http://www.dusky-control.com/. I use this because it is more reliable than an IR transmission solution. I have a script which takes the channel number as a parameter and calls the dusky control device. This is set in my backend as the external command to run when changing channels.

    Nearly everything is working perfectly, when I watch TV I can change channels using the up and down arrows on my remote. Mythtv sends the commands to the set top box and the channels change correctly.

    The problem arises when I go into the program guide from watching tv and scroll to a channel to watch. I want the select button on my remote control to change channel.

    By default when I pressed select it brought up the recording options.

    I then read that to change this behaviour I had to set the use select to change channel in the programme guide option. I did this but now when I press the select button on the program guide the system just returns to the tv picture without changing channel.

    The thing that really gets me is how can the up/down button on remote change channel in watch tv mode (sort of proves that the setup is correct) but not select from the program guide. I am beginning to think this must be a bug in myth tv (I hope not).

    I have already spent two weeks looking at settings and searching the web for a solution.

    Can anybody help me find a solution?

    I found what was causing the problem.

    I had assigned channel numbers with leading zeros.

    001, 002, 003 etc

    When I changed these to 1,2,3 etc it works.
