I got this error when I swapped channel numbers around (to get the
channels to appear in a logical order on the program guide).
I assumed that it was a problem with the 'startchannel' because when I
fiddled with that also, my system started working again.
Unfortunately I didn't record exactly what I was doing so there's a
risk that something else I did caused the problem and fix.
