 It sounds like you're confusing the ''tunechan'' and ''startchan'' fields.
 The ''startchan'' field is the spinbox, populated by channels defined in
 your database, and specifies the first channel that MythTV tries to access
 when opening LiveTV. The ''tunechan'' is the text edit box used to pre-
 tune an RF input when capturing from an external device with an external
 channel changer.

 The field wants a physical channel number. Not a logical channum. Since
 there are (nearly) no consumer devices capable of outputting a DVB signal,
 there would never be any reason for a DVB input to have this option. Your
 verbiage seems to indicate that you are improperly using the ''tunechan''
 field, and this is nothing but a configuration error.
