[mythtv-users] DVB-S channel scan problem with 18.1, Astra 19.2, skystar2

Hi,

I just installed MythTV on my Gentoo desktop with skystar2 DVB-S card
pointed to Astra 19.2E. The broadcast reception works fine with
mplayer. But I have problems with channel scanning in mythtv. During
the scan the channels and dtv_multiplex tables in mythconverg are
filled, but dvb_channel and dvb_pids are empty. Following error
message is shown on the command line:
QMYSQLResult::data: column 3 out of range

I also tried the SVN snapshot with similar result (here the
dvb_channel and dvb_pids tables are not present at all).
I tried to use the import feature and the channels.conf file prepared
with dvbscan, but it didn't work either - probably because of the
incompatible format.

I have several questions now:
1) Does anybody have mythtv 0.18.1 + DVB-S card (skystar2?) with a
working scan feature?
2) Does anybody know how to import channels.conf into mythtv?
Apparently there are some switches that affect the file format...
3) Could somebody provide me with the current mythconverg database
dump of the Astra 19.2E?
4) Is there any older version of mythtv able to scan channels with the
skystar2 DVB-S card?

Thanks!
Bob
