That's right. I'll have time this weekend to do some more troubleshooting. Thanks again for your help.

</div>The difference is setup_channel sends the sequence box on, channel<br>
change, OSD off, then verifies channel changed and retries if not correct.<br>
<br>
Without it all it does is send the channel change command. Since it doesn't<br>
check the channel you can't get this error:<br>
<div class="im">Excessive channel change retries, commanded 206 got 13<br>
<br>
</div>Instead you may get a recording of the wrong station. It would be good if<br>
you have the time to track down why the setup_channel doesn't work.<br>
