I seem to have a problem recording from the Dish box. The problem is, the box goes into standby after a set period of time. Now this has been mentioned before, and the solution was to either disable the standby, or set a timer for 24 hours so it never goes to standby. Problem is, the box wants to update IT'S guide when it goes into standby. If it doesn't get to upgrade, it will get desperate and give you no choice. Whatever your doing it will interrupt and update which takes like 5 minutes. I don't want that happening in the middle of a recording.
What I would like is to be able to detect in some way when recording service starts, but before it sends the channel change command to the box. I could then program IR Server Suite to send the "enter" to the box to wake it. The enter command would have to go out a few seconds before the Channel change so the box is awake. I tried the recordingstatus.bat, but either I screwed up or it isn't fast enough. Can anyone help me with this little problem?
