For some reason the channel changer on my setup has been failing once or twice a week recently.
I have a series 2 standalone, hooked up using a serial cable to a Hughes Executive Director box. I've had the set up for about 18 months.
I'll come down in the morning, or after work, I'll notice that the channel information bar does not match the channel being shown. Then, when I try to change the channel, the information bar will change, but the channel itself will not. I think it is after the Tivo has recorded something, and tried to change channels to record something else. The second program will record, but the Directv box will be on the wrong channel (so I will get half an hour of ESPN that will be labeled as the Daily Show because the channel did not change)
If I go back through the "changing channels" menu and re-set the serial control, it works fine. But then it eventually breaks agan.
Any ideas? Thanks
