Excellent!

I've got another suggestion also.  Since your code can apparently read
the current channel number, it can check to see if the channel change
was successful.  (I've gotten a few missed channel changes.)  It might
be a good thing(tm) if it would do said check after changing, and if it
hasn't changed to the requested channel (and the channel does exist)
that it attempt the channel change again, but a little more slowly...

Other than that, I'm still using it!
