[mythtv-users] Can no longer tune live TV with pcHDTV

The latest CVS commits seem to have broken live TV tuning -- but not recording -- with my pcHDTV setup.  mythbackend -v leaves these messages even when I set startchan to tune a channel whose signal I know is strong.  

2004-05-22 18:51:41 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2004-05-22 18:51:41 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "" in the "setup" Channel Editor.
2004-05-22 18:51:41 Signal level too low?
2004-05-22 18:51:41 Tuning Error -- aborting recording

I can't even get a signal via dtvsignal after this, until I either reinsert the module or tell myth to record.

If I ask it to record an HD channel, though, it works fine.
2004-05-22 19:45:35 Maximum signal strength detected: 100% after 500 msec wait

Reverting to the 5-20 CVS version lets me watch live TV again as well as record.

Let me know if I can provide any more information.  Thanks!
