> Work OK for you...?

Had a quick look and couldnt find any ,so wrote  a Determinator which sends
out an osd message to the pcosd and works fine ......

Are you getting the variable change reporting by xPL-HVISION ...?? I assume
you have the xPL-MOnitor running to see the xPL Traffic ??

> It MUST be something I'm not understanding/doing wrong...!

Its  usually somrthing simple ....
