Hi Dave,

I'd suggest restoring the backup of your DB from before the upgrade
and trying again. Keep a close eye out for errors.
Check the schema from before hand.
What version are you upgrading from?
What branch/revision from? to?

I'm surprised the God of the MythTV user help (Michael T. Dean) hasn't
jumped in on this thread. (Though it might be the top posting, the
vast majority of the folks round here can't stand top posting and
steer clear of it at all costs..) I wonder if he's got a filter on his
name in email content ;-)

Another suggestion would be to do a fresh install as per the docs.
Then, using your latest working back up do the following to import the
recordings: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.5

Good luck,

Steve Daniels

Thanks for the response Steve (that's two),
I did try restoring the database and I ran into the same thing.
I didn't see any messages and there were no complaints.
I didn't check the schema before I upgraded again though.
I can have a look at the dump I guess.
I was running Knoppmyth R5E50 that I upgraded using 

http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-20-fixes/mythtv
I am upgrading to 

http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-21-fixes/
I suppose I "could" do a fresh install but that seems extreme to me.
By adding those columns I was able to add channels and get my diseqc defined.
I am just not sure if the columns not being there was the problem or the queries are wrong.
I do have a new problem though where the cards on the slave backend are unavailable but I think I have seen that noted somewhere so I am hoping it is unrelated.


Dave
p.s. I forgot that some people are a little sensitive about top posting. Although I admit I  get lazy because yahoo sucks for that sorta thing. But is it really top posting if I am the only one responding?
