Started on channel 38.  I received this message 4 times from doing:
./channel -vv -p /dev/ttyS1 56

Attempting to initialize DCT
SENT: type 0x70, len 2, seq 0x03
RECV: type 0x70, len 2, seq 0x80
SENT: type 0x78, len 3, seq 0x03
      data 0x00
RECV: type 0x78, len 2, seq 0x80
Serial timeout
Didn't get expected status message
Initialization failed

I reset the box and tried again.  No joy.  (Didn't work with the
previous version either...) It would be great if this really provided
faster channel-changes and minimized the OSD.  I'm all for it!
