I may look into what is available now at the cable store.  What channel
changer/options did you use?

I don't think I have either of those channels, it appears that the
channels stay what they were on last, and I don't remember any popups.

Do you mean the single packet option?  I tried it before and it is nice
because it is very quick, but very unreliable in my experience.
