Motoroal Cable Box Increase Number of Channel Digits

[band80]

RCN in Boston recently changed the cable box firmware so that it expect FOUR digit channels rather than three digits like before. The Motorola cable box "driver" (if you want to call it that) only sends three digits, which does NOT change the channel successfully

How do I alter the number of digits that SageTV sends to the cable box over the serial cable?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Have you checked Source Details for the tuner -> Tuner Control -> Remote Control Options -> Digits per Channel?

Great suggestion. Strangely, that doesn't seem to have made a difference either. Channels continue to be sent as exactly 3 digits. I imagine it would work if the preceding zeros were NOT sent. Any idea how to get rid of that in MultiDCTTuner?

I just tried changing the .ir files related to MultiDCTTuner... still no luck
