Well, I did this, and no change: I'm still screwed. Unless I can get
someone who knows a lot more about the internals of the code to get
interested in this, or unless I get the few days of free time it would
take for me to do it myself, I think I will just have to move on to more
productive (on my system) projects. Maybe I will try again with a real
2.6.12 kernel, or after FC4 comes out, or if there is a new release of
MythTV. But for now, it's the same stone wall over and over and over:

2005-06-06 17:07:28.867 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-06-06 17:07:28.885 Error: Desired subchannel not specified in
freqid "3", Using 1.
2005-06-06 17:07:28.971 HD5 Error: could not obtain sync

I guess I'll close by trying to learn just a little bit more: what is a
"subchannel" and how would I specify one? What exactly does "could not
obtain sync" mean and what does this mean is wrong? I don't think my
random trying of different things is really going to help; I have to
find out what these error messages actually mean or I'm just going to
keep frustrating myself. Google searches and list archive searches
didn't turn anything up.
