[mythtv-users] mythtv and some channels

Hi,

I am using MythTV on Pardus 2007 and have some problems.
I have SkyStar2 DVB-S and works fine.

I tuned my satellite dish using szap utility created a channels.conf with
scan utility.
Then tuned kaffeine with this channels.conf and able to watch/listen all
channels and radios on kaffeine.
Then included this channels.conf into mythtv and tested on mythtv.
Unfortunately, some channels responded saying "LMs Partial LOCK" and did not
tune.
Switched back to kaffeine and watched perfectly.
Tried szap and mplayer hack, picture quality was perfect.

Searched with google about LMs but answers were not enough.

I am using mythfrontend on my Notebook and mythserver on my Desktop, so I
guess mythtv is the best solution.
But I'd like to watch these "Partial Locked" channels. (Almost half of the
channels.conf list)

I understand that BitErrorRate is probably more than mythtv requires.

How is it possible that kaffeine shows everything perfect but MythTV refuses
with a "LMs"?
What should I do? Is there a patch or a hack about this?

Thanks...
