I am changing the channel to channels that definitely do work on the
box though.  I can change to those channels when I use my remote
control, so unsure why it is reverting back.  I don't think there is
an issue with the channel changing script because this is a new issue.

As mentioned elsewhere, I have been using another box that suddenly
won't change channels either.  That is a Pace box and when I try to
change the channel using myth, the receiving a signal from a remote
icon lights up real quick on the STB like it would when I use my
remote, but the number don't change on the STB at all.

I don't think it is a firewire issue because I can still capture fine.
 I am swapping these boxes for others just in case there is an issue
with the boxes but seems weird that I would have two that I can
capture from but not change channels.
