Thanks Daniel, still not getting beyond the signal lock to show TV, but now the debugging seems to indicate that it's trying to match against a different channel numbering scheme.  Here are snips from the frontend and backend logs. 


backend (tuning to KQED sub1, in the db as 901):

I have my KQED channels in the database as 901-905, because that's easier on the remote and sorting than 9_1 (zap2it) or 91 (scan).  This works for liveTV without the patch.

Thanks!
