Matt,
Thank you for trying the dongle. I was hoping that it would make channel changing work and provide me a smoking gun or at least narrow down the code that's triggering the problem. If it works, then this has narrowed down my search for the problem immensly. Thank you for the log and remember, the lists of recorded material and the pending recordings will not update "on-the-fly" with this dongle but you can use it to watch live TV until I get to the bottom of what might be causing the issue.
Thanks again.
Cheers...
Sergio
