I had a chance to test out RatPoison, and the same thing happens. I can control the menu's but not LiveTV. I even tried messing with the focus model in fluxbox just to make sure that wasn't the case, and it isn't.
<br><br>I'm really running out of steam and idea's. Please, if anyone has any clue's as to why I can't change channels in LiveTV with my remote, let me know.<br><br>Thanks again,<br>-Ben<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
