I have an updated script (which I'll post to the wiki later today when
I get home) that iterates through the change command until I get a
response or 20 times, whichever comes first.  I was having that error
as well.  Also, I noticed that the STB returns "OK." instead of "OK"
so I've updated the script for that as well.
