wont change channels correctly

[kf7nn]

i have a happauge 1600 card and am using IRblast to change channels.
I can change channels fine in timeshift mode or realtime. the system gets it EPG thru xml and noticed that some channels say "no details" like the scifi channel. if i schedule a show that does not say " no details" then it punches
in the correct channel and records ok but if I schedule a show on scifi channel it trys to go to channel 9857 when it should go to 244 (direct tv) and alot of times the direct tv receiver turns off . its driving me crazy.

Did the scifi channel change its name recently? If so, you'll probably find the application assumed it was a new channel, and has added it at the end of the channel list with the new name and listings, and the old channel is channel is sitting there no longer receiving listings from your xml.

I'd take a closer look at your capture source channel list to make sure you dont have an unexpected copy of scifi, called syfy or similar, with slightly different channel numbers etc.

Sub's right (as usual),

SciFi changed its name to SyFy so you'll have to make that change in config and in your epg. Other channels on Directv changed as well, like Noggin is now NicJr, the Family Channel is now ABCF (or something like that), etc. The best way to check is to look at Directv's guide and check there. I had to do it too and it wasn't so bad.
