USB-UIRT pauses when changes channel

[jwalloga]

I currently use the USB-UIRT with SageTV. Recently, the USB-UIRT has not tuned my cable box to the correct channel. For instance, today I wanted to record Fox News, channel 46. What I got was Nicelodeon, channel 6. What the USB-UIRT did was send channel 4, then paused, then channel 6. Problem is, the pause made the box change to channel 4. The second pause made it go to channel 6. Basically, if there was not as long a pause between the 4 and the 6, I would have gotten channel 46.

Is there a setting that I can access to change this? Should I reposition my USB-UIRT? I currently have it directly in front of the IR window on my cable box.

Please help.

jwalloga,

Any delays would be caused by Sage (although I have no idea why Sage would pause). You can get a good idea of when the USB-UIRT is actually sending by looking at the red LED.

You might also want to move your USB-UIRT away from the cable box a bit. Its emitters are really strong.
