Most people with this problem add a sleep to their channel changing<br>
script...Search this list for hdpvr channel script... I would guess that<br>
is your problem also..<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Thanks for the reply.<br><br>I had read that when I got the HDPVR, so since day 1 with the HDPVR I have had a 3 sec sleep at the end of the script. I just checked my script and confirmed the 3.0 sec sleep at the end.<br>
<br>Any other ideas?<br>
