The great improvements in channel handling and stability in the current
SVN led me to revisit the usb issue as I wanted to try using the SVN in
day to day and I can't do that unless I get the slave working,
(I have a master with an avermedia 771 + pvr 250 & slave with a
USB attached DEC 2000t )
With the recent SVN's the 2000 has been misbehaving as per this thread.
I convinced myself (gdb/dbtune) that both PAT and PMT were available
from the 2000 - so started looking at mythlib.
using svn 7448 I find that if you comment out the following 4 lines in
DTVSignalMonitor::IsAllGood then everything (liveTV/Recording) works
with the same speed improvements to channel change etc
if ((flags & kDTVSigMon_WaitForPAT) && !matchingPAT.IsGood())
return false;
if ((flags & kDTVSigMon_WaitForPMT) && !matchingPMT.IsGood())
return false;
Otherwise IsAllGood is continually being called and returning at the PAT
test, if this is commented out it returns at the PMT test. The OSD showing
Partial lock.
I thought I'd share this just in case it helped anyone who understands how
this works better than me!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two minor points I noticed in rummaging around:
a) There appears to be a typo in DTVSignalMonitor::IsAllGood in that the
MGT test is repeated in the VCT line:

b) The fix for embedded quotes in the DVB channel name hasn't quite done
the job - I understand why a bind variable would be better but don't know
how to do this in mysql - the following does work however. (svn 7449)
