</a><br>><br>><br>><br><br>Before you run out and buy a new one, try this one thing: pass channel<br>numbers as four digits. So for your 100 example, try 0100. I found<br>that worked with my 435's. I use the DRD435RH - they work well and
<br>they are usually cheap on eBay.<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
