There are several recommended firmwares, could you give the version of the one you are using? Could you also just for verification check again whether the firmware in ATrpms is still causing issues? E.g. replace the firmware with the one from ATrpms, reboot and check whether the channels changing works. Thanks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
