title: Django Channel - Redis integration error : aioredis.errors.ReplyError: ERR unknown command 'EVAL'
body: <p>I am new to Django channels and following the tutorial ( <a href="https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/part_2.html" rel="noreferrer">https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/part_2.html</a>)</p>
  <p>As Redis does not support Windows 7 I downloaded Redis version 2.4 from (<a href="https://github.com/dmajkic/redis/downloads" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/dmajkic/redis/downloads</a>)</p>
  <p>When I try to access the Redis from Django shell I got error as mentioned in the subject.</p>
  <pre><code>$ python3 manage.py shell
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import channels.layers
  &gt;&gt;&gt; channel_layer = channels.layers.get_channel_layer()
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from asgiref.sync import async_to_sync
  &gt;&gt;&gt; async_to_sync(channel_layer.send)('test_channel', {'type': 'hello'})
  &gt;&gt;&gt; async_to_sync(channel_layer.receive)('test_channel')      # ERROR OCCURED AFTER THIS STEP
  
  </code></pre>
