If I remember correctly I had the same problems viewing the PBS Kids
when I was tuning using the Antenna, I enabled the "Use TS instead of
PS" option in the DVB card's settings, and I was able to watch the
stations correctly, however now there is a HD station that causes my
frontend to crash when I try to watch TV, or anything record on that
channel.

I took a peak into my DB to see if I had any left-over atscsrcid left
over, and sure enough I did. I'll try setting them all to NULL and try
again tonight. Just a general question, what does the atscsrcid do?
How would it affect anything if I did have it set to something other
then NULL?

Also I noticed that in .19 the default setting would be to use TS,
since I'm already using TS and it's causing problems for me, I'll
still have problems when I upgrade? Did they make any changes to
encoding or decoding TS in .19?
