Does this happen at home?

I think the driver getting confused is your problem, but it's likely
being confused and stubborn because of a noisy environment. Ie, things
taking too long to happen and increasing the chances of the
overlapping reset/channel change that you're seeing.

Does this happen often? This particular set of messages?
