<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The first thing to try in a situation like this, is to add a longer sleep to the end of your channel change script.</div><div><br></div><div>With Directv, I can control it via USB, which also means I can query the STB to find out what channel it thinks it is on. That helps quite a bit, since I don't return from the channel change script until the STB says it is done changing channels. I still have to sleep for one second, to give the STB a chance to stabilize, though. The HD-PVR does not handle "garbage in" well at all, so if it is told to "start encoding" when the input is still in flux (changing resolutions), it can get wedged.</div>
