[mythtv-users] Recording noise instead of scheduled show?

Hi,

I have a PVR-150 connected to my DirectTV STB.  I have set the  
channel change script to
/bin/true and can see in the log that this is OK.  I have the preset  
channel set to 3 but
my tuner never gets "set" and I end up recording noise instead of the  
signal.

I have the real DirectTV channel change script for the STB but I'm  
just taking one step
at a time.

Here is the relevant area of my log:

2006-06-02 23:00:03.150 TVRec(1): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-06-02 23:00:04.253 ret_pid(5850) child(5850) status(0x0)

That Be": channel 1244 o
n cardid 1, sourceid 1

vbi: Invalid argument
2006-06-02 23:00:05.428 Reschedule requested for id 0.

What is the VBI thing?

Thanks,

John
