Thanks for posting that, I didn't know about Interactive TV in Myth. The 
only problem is that it still won't let me change channels. I get the 
nice background message, but channel change doesn't work.

Before I enabled interactive TV, I would get a channel lock, but just a 
blank screen. This happens with for example BBC4 first thing in the 
morning, if I have set up something to record the night before.

I can change Inputs and get one that is tuned to a channel being 
transmitted. However, WAF won't allow more than one button press to 
change a channel.

Ian.
