Just to follow-up on this now that I'm back online I did a quick check
of my script and while I had a pause in it, I had misplaced it in the
script and it wasn't running.

That combined with the Jarods suggestion to add min_repeat appear to
have done the job. So far no missing channel changes.

Thanks Again.
