Hello!

According to the discussion on http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4163 I am now 
posting it on the mythtv-dev mailing list.

I am using mythtv-0.21_pre14705. I have a DVB-C card and living in Germany, 
having a local network provider (not iesy).

With mplayer dvb://zdf everything works.

Then I did the following:
Imported my channels.conf
Deleted all channels, the transponders are still in transponder list
Did a "full scan of existing transports"
Now I had a fresh scanned list of all my programs.

But if I switch to ZDF for example I get:
"You have now gotten a channel lock. You can wait...."

So there must be a problem the way MythTV handles my channels.

This is ZDF out of my channels.conf:
ZDF(ZDFvision):394000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:110:120:28006

SELECT * from channel where name="zdf" 
---> http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/4163/zdf

SELECT modulation, frequency, symbolrate, inversion, fec, callsign FROM 
channel JOIN dtv_multiplex ON (channel.mplexid = dtv_multiplex.mplexid) WHERE 
callsign = "ZDF"

+------------+-----------+------------+-----------+------+----------+
| modulation | frequency | symbolrate | inversion | fec | callsign |
+------------+-----------+------------+-----------+------+----------+
| qpsk | 11953500 | 27500000 | a | 3/4 | ZDF |
+------------+-----------+------------+-----------+------+----------+ 


Importing a existing and working channels.conf does not work.
So there is currently no option to watch TV.

Thank you in Advance.

Tobi
