I've been away, but since no one else has chimed in I'll give it a go.
Are you still experiencing these problems?
Apart from the unattended chanel 5 issue, does the TiVo control the sky box correctly?

Hi,
I've recently setup my TIVO to control my Saturn Digital set top box. Since then I've noticed that it periodically switches to Channel 5 (Sky1). I've disconnected the IR Blaster for the moment to prevent TV viewing from being interrupted, however no matter what channel I set the TIVO to, after a few hours I find that it has reverted to 5 as the current channel.
Automatic recording of suggestions is disabled.
The box is a US Philips running the Oz 1.4 image.
Any ideas anyone?????
Cheers,
Pete.

That sounds strange. I have mine controlling a Saturn Digital box also and haven't seen the same problem.
Is it at any stage recording a channel with a '5' or ending in a '5' before it does this? sometimes the set top box misses the first or last digit.
That's about all I can think of.
I am seeing this same problem intermittently with a Motorola STB. I haven't been thinking of it so much as switching to channel 5 as missing the last digit since in every instance I have seen this error has occurred when switching to channel 54. I believe that the STB is seeing 05 when it should be seeing 054.
I try to record ABC news on 54 at 12:30 and CBS news at 1:30. The error has only occurred on the first recording. At 12:30 I sometimes get channel 5. At 1:30 I always get channel 54.
Even more intermittently I get the awful preview channel 0 when I want channel 8. Again I have attributed this to the STB seeing 00 instead of 008.
