I used p2p because it was the default and worked, mostly, then tried broadcast and it didn't. Not sure how quickly I can test it since I have a whack of recordings coming up.
Channel-changing with 6200ch has been rock-solid though.
I would appreciate your script so I can try it out. That was one of the questions in my mail that I haven't sent yet.
