[mythtv-users] Dvb-s: handling of bad channel entries

[Martin Bene]

Hi,

Mythtv 0.16 seemingly can't gracefully handle it if playback for an
encrypted channel is requested while zapping in "watch tv" mode.
Obviosuly the channel can't be displayed, but what happens is rather
unexpected:

 - backend message:
2004-11-06 01:12:19 DVB#0 WARNING - Status: NO LOCK!
2004-11-06 01:12:19 DVB#0 Successfully tuned to channel 52.
2004-11-06 01:12:19 DVB#0 CAM - PMT cache updated.
2004-11-06 01:12:34 Couldn't read data from the capture card in 15
seconds.  Game over, man.

- Frontend is frozen on last frame from previous program; console for
frontend shows:

2004-11-06 01:12:24 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2004-11-06 01:12:29 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2004-11-06 01:12:34 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2004-11-06 01:12:36 Waited 2 seconds for data to become available,
waiting again...

- Default channel for watching tv gets set to the bad channel, so it's
rather difficult to get away from the bad channel.

Is there any wayto make mythtv handle this more gracefully?

Bye, Martin
