[mythtv-users] "Failed to set channel" for scheduled recordings

[Jared Davis]

Hi,

I went ahead and got an Nvidia card as previously suggested, and now almost 
everything is working wonderfully!

Last night, I scheduled Saturday Night Live to be recorded, and it worked 
smoothly.  I also scheduled some shows to be recorded this morning, but it 
didn't work.  When I look on the program guide, it tells me "recording failed", 
and the log messages look like the following:

2006-11-19 08:57:01.173 TVRec(1): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-11-19 08:57:01.215 TVRec(1): HW Tuner: 1->1

2006-11-19 08:57:11.109 Scheduled 121 items in 0.8 = 0.01 match + 0.75 place

Does anyone know what I might do to fix this?

I looked on Google and it sounds like it might be related to poor signal 
strength coming from the antenna?  I tried repositioning the antenna so that it 
gives me a pretty good picture on all the channels, but my attempted recordings 
still fail in the same way.

Thanks a lot!

   Jared
